Industrial Cyber Security Risks And Defense

The training program described below, focuses on the cyber security aspects of Industrial Control Systems (ICS), also known as Operation technology (OT). These systems are deployed in range of architectures:

• Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
• Building and Energy Management Systems (BEMS)
• Distributed Control Systems (DCS)

The solutions include products such as: Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), Remoter Terminal Units (RTU) Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED) Safety Instrument Systems (SIS), Human Machine Interface (HMI), Automation Servers (AS) etc.

Among Industrial control verticals are the following:

• Electricity production and distribution
• Water distribution and Sewage treatment
• Oil and gas facilities
• Manufacturing plants
• Smart cities and public safety
• Communication networks, and more

What Will You Learn?

• Understanding the ICS-OT technology as related to cyber risks and defense, and ICS architecture, related components and communication
• Understanding of the unique threat factors applicable for the ICS-OT facilities and the principal technologies used for cyber secured ICS-OT systems
• Learn about how to select effective methods and specific network defense architectures and techniques matching specific industrial vertical;
• Learn about hardening of ICS computers and controllers using end-point protection, securing memorable data or updating systems;
• Understanding principles of Business continuity planning (BCP), Disaster recovery Preparedness (DRP) and Incident-response (IR) for industrial environments
• Understanding principles of the ISA/IEC 62443 international standards for protecting industrial, utility and manufacturing operations.
• Learn about how IR process can be conducted in an industrial facility through coordinated collaboration among on-site teams.
