The authors discuss security protection for ICS networks, especially  for physical devices using software defined security.  This paper offers  an SDSec-based approach to provide additional protection based on  software defined zones.  Different approaches are also discuss and  presented. Understanding the nature of ICS/SCADA networks the authors  present an approach to limit attacks and attack propagation on physical  devices. 

Do you believe that a software defined approach works for ICS/SCADA  systems/networks? Write a 4-5 page paper with supporting research (peer  reviewed journals are required) that either supports an SDSec-based  approach or dismisses this ICS/SCADA networks.
