Sandia conducted testing of NSI interactions with SCADA communication protocols in order to help vendors and industry users better secure these protocols when implementing them in TCP/IP networks over public telecommunications infrastructures. The testing addressed this goal by: determining NSI interactions with SCADA system protocols to improve acceptance of NSI by SCADA operators, and finding problems for feedback to SCADA vendors and NSI vendors to improve the security of implementations.
