Abstract :
The paper discusses the vulnerability of the process control system in cyber attack. It is becoming increasingly difficult to patch IT systems to fix these vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are more quickly being exploited into attacks and self-propagating worms. Therefore constructing a process control security programme is introduced to protect the system from these attacks.
