Abstract

The industry and research communities have introduced a variety of approaches and algorithms that require evaluation of their security and safety in industrial settings. However, conducting such assessments is challenging, given the need to maintain operational availability of these infrastructures. Consequently, scientists often capture datasets from authentic industrial environments, but assess attacks on such data in emulated or simulated environments. To replicate proper industrial conditions within controlled and simulated environments, testbeds need to be able to assess the effectiveness of implemented attacks and provide results usable to real-world systems. In this study, we present and compare such tools that aim to emulate or simulate industrial control systems by establishing eight criteria. The objective of our work is to address concerns surrounding the selection of an appropriate emulation tool based on specific needs.
