Project Proposal for SCADA Vulnerability Assessment Framework Development
Project Title: SCADA Vulnerability Assessment Framework

1. Executive Summary
This project proposal outlines the development of a comprehensive SCADA Vulnerability
Assessment Framework. The framework will include two main components: a questionnaire-
based risk evaluation module and a smart search engine for real-time data analysis. The goal is to
dynamically assess the security posture of SCADA systems, predict vulnerabilities, and suggest
security controls.
