Siemens SCADA systems are hardly 'well protected' or at least they werent. I dont think they foresaw this as an issue.
I recently had a discussion over communications protocal for a domestic water supply system. I boiled down to hardwired RS232 or wireless ethernet. The wireless is of course much cheaper and easier to program and maintain but has obvious security risks. These risks were pointed out. The end results? The cheaper route.
