Chockalingam, S. (author), Pieters, W. (author), Teixeira, André (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Water management infrastructures such as floodgates are critical and increasingly operated by Industrial Control Systems (ICS). These systems are becoming more connected to the internet, either directly or through the corporate networks. This makes them vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Abnormal behaviour in floodgates operated by ICS could be caused...journal article 2021
