The rise in ICS-aware malware and attacks on critical infrastructure highlights the need for robust defenses. Protecting your ICS environment starts with understanding threats and vulnerabilities—let us guide you!

Following are the ways this course will help you in:

• Apply active and passive methods to gather information safely about an ICS environment.
• Identify and address vulnerabilities specific to ICS.
• Recognize how attackers disrupt and control processes, and build defenses to counteract them.
• Implement proactive measures to prevent, detect, and mitigate attacks.
• Get a strong grasp on ICS operations to identify normal and weird behavior.
• Design architecture with choke points to detect and respond to incidents effectively.
• Manage complex ICS setups and enhance response capabilities for security events.

This hands-on, lab-driven course replicates a real-world ICS environment, featuring:

• Controllers monitoring and controlling field devices.
• Touchscreen HMIs for local process adjustments.
• SCADA systems for remote monitoring and control from operator workstations.
• A connection to enterprise systems for typical corporate functions like data transfer and remote access.

Through engaging exercises, students will see how attackers exploit poorly designed ICS architectures and learn practical strategies for defending and securing such environments.
