Changes in control software will continue to accelerate until the most critical infrastructure weaknesses (oil refineries, electrical power plants, water treatment facilities) are addressed worldwide. Networks vendors are deploying solutions to monitor network traffic between the management systems of these controls to determine the validity of its state. There will be a great need for custom simulation software for specific vertical industries like the ones listed above. Software errors in the simulation software could also lead to disasters so the software may need to pass a certification process before being deployed in a refinery’s private network.”]
