The ability to integrate with and retrieve data from SCADA systems enables services and functionality based on real-time data produced by the SCADA system. In this process, data is collected from SCADA and transferred to a database from where the data is shared with other applications related to the GIS located in the office IT environment. Hence, there is a flow of data between the sensitive OT zone and the office/IT zone. Dataflows between IT and OT can potentially be exploited by threat agents trying to gain access to or disrupt the operation of the OT systems. This is particularly relevant when dealing with advanced threat agents such as foreign states or well financed and motivated cyber criminals.
