AB  - The Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system has prominent place and play important roles within real time industrial communication included &#34electric stations, oil stations and water purification plants&#34. In this study; the SCADA System main components, architecture and important protocols, which have been used in SCADA message transmission are reviewed. After review, the current research changes the direction (Section: Future Work) to the security of SCADA system and the existing methods or security methods that have been deployed within the SCADA system. This review also gives directions to secure SCADA network communication.
