Critical infrastructure sectors such as energy, public services, finance, transportation, water management, and production are crucial for national security. They rely on Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems for monitoring and control. A failure or cyber-attack on these systems can have severe consequences, including service disruptions, data breaches, and threats to human life, societal order, economy, and security. Hence, ensuring robust security measures for these systems is essential. This study conducts research on test bed centers designed to enhance the security of SCADA systems considered as critical infrastructure. Comparisons and analyses are made among physical simulation, virtualization, and software-based emulation environments in these test bed centers. It is evaluated that test bed centers based on physical simulation are both costly and limited to local environments. In the proposed study, a test bed is designed with a software-based approach, specifically focusing on the S7comm industrial communication infrastructure predominantly used by Siemens devices, which has been less utilized in the literature. The aim is to enhance the security of the S7comm communication protocol through experiments conducted on the test bed. The evaluation conducted at the end of the study suggests that working with various cybersecurity disciplines on the designed test bed would significantly contribute to the security of critical infrastructure.
