Industrial　control　system　was　an　important　part　of　national　critical　infrastructure,　once　it　was　suffered　from　the　cyber　attack,　it　would　cause　property　damage,　casualties　and　other　serious　disasters.　For　providing　theoretical　supports　to　industrial　security　researchers,　the　features　of　attacks　in　an　industrial　control　system　and　the　difficulties　of　detection　to　these　attacks　were　introduced.　Then,　a　survey　of　intrusion　detection　technologies　used　by　the　industrial　control　systems　was　given.　Also,　the　performance　and　characteristic　were　compared　for　the　different　types　of　detection　technologies.　Finally,　an　industrial　intrusion　detection　research　was　generated.　©　2017,　Editorial　Board　of　Journal　on　Communications.　All　right　reserved.
