As a security analyst for a manufacturing company, you are tasked with testing the security controls of the new SCADA system. Which method is most appropriate for thoroughly assessing the SCADA system’s security vulnerabilities?
Penetration testing is the most appropriate method because it simulates real-world attacks to identify and exploit vulnerabilities, offering a comprehensive evaluation of the SCADA system's security. Vulnerability scanning, while useful, primarily identifies potential issues but does not actively exploit them. Configuration review is important for ensuring best practices and compliance but does not test the system's defenses against active threats. User access review ensures appropriate permissions but does not encompass the full scope of potential vulnerabilities.
