Effectiveness of information security systems of automated process control systems (APCS) and supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA) depends on applied technologies to protect components of the transport environment for data transfer. This article investigates the problem of detecting attacks on wireless sensor networks (WSN) of SCADA systems. As a result of analysis, authors developed detailed classification of external attacks on sensor networks and the detailed description of the attackers impacts on components of SCADA systems in accordance with the selected lines of attacks. Considered the methods of intrusion detection in wireless sensor networks SCADA systems and functions of the wireless intrusion detection system (WIDS). Noted the role of anthropogenic factors of internal security threats.

Key words: Computer Security, SCADA, wireless sensor network, WSN, network attacks, detection of network attacks, intrusion detection system, WIDS, Anthropogenic threats to security
