ICS/SCADA Cybersecurity Training
Industrial automation processes use industrial control systems (ICS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems to control industrial processes locally or remotely and to monitor, gather, and process real-time data.
As the rapid growth of interconnectivity among systems continue (i.e., Internet of Things, Industrial Internet), ICS and SCADA systems are now accessible and becoming high–priority targets for hackers. Cyber criminals have already developed malware threats that can disrupt industrial Operation Technology (OT). Due to the potential impact of an attack on the physical safety of communities, employees, or customers, ICS/SCADA security is an even higher priority than traditional IT systems.
On February 2020, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security revealed that a ransomware attack on a U.S. natural gas facility forced a pipeline to be shut down for two days. These attacks have become more frequent and, considering the nature of these industries, the threats are more dangerous than ever. Organizations around the world are now dedicating resources to protecting their ICS assets, which include supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) programs.
The ICS/SCADA Cybersecurity Training course is a hands-on training which will enable you to learn the foundations of security and defend architectures from attacks. You will look at the concept of “thinking like a hacker” to learn techniques to defend from the types of attacks that are commonly conducted against the oil and gas IT corporate and control network. ICS/SCADA teaches powerful methods to analyze risks possessed by network infrastructure in IT and corporate spaces. Once your foundation or basic concepts are clear, you will learn a systematic process of intrusion and malware analysis. After this, you will learn about digital forensic process and incident response techniques upon detecting a breach.
