What is a SCADA Network Analyst?

SCADA Network Analysts are professionals who design, implement, monitor, and maintain the computer networks that support Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. These systems are essential for controlling and monitoring critical infrastructure, such as power plants, water treatment facilities, and manufacturing processes. SCADA Network Analysts ensure the network's security, reliability, and performance, often working to prevent cyber threats and respond to incidents. They also troubleshoot network issues, install updates, and collaborate with engineers to optimize system operations.
