Performing SCADA HMI Security Assessment
When to Use
When assessing the security posture of HMI systems in SCADA/DCS environments
When evaluating web-based HMI interfaces for common web vulnerabilities
When auditing HMI authentication, authorization, and session management
When testing communication security between HMIs and PLCs/RTUs
When preparing for IEC 62443 or NERC CIP compliance assessments
Do not use for testing HMIs in active production without a maintenance window and rollback plan, for PLC-level protocol analysis (see s7comm-protocol-sec-ana), or for general web application testing on non-OT systems.
Prerequisites
HMI system inventory with vendor, version, and network configuration details
Lab or test environment mirroring production HMI setup (preferred for active testing)
Authorization from plant operations for testing during maintenance windows
NIST SP 800-82 and IEC 62443 security requirements documentation
Network capture capability on HMI-to-PLC communication segment
Workflow
Step 1: Assess HMI Attack Surface
"""SCADA HMI Security Assessment Tool.
Evaluates HMI security across authentication, communication,
configuration, and web interface categories aligned with
IEC 62443 and NIST SP 800-82 requirements.
