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 for traditional IT systems. Cyber criminals have already developed malware threats such as Triton/TRISIS and Stuxnet that can disrupt industrial Operation Technology (OT).

The ICS/SCADA course is a hands-on training that will enable you to learn the foundation of security and defending architectures from attacks. You will learn to think like a hacker to in order to defend your organization from the types of attacks that are commonly conducted against industrial control systems.

You will learn powerful methods to analyze the risk of both the IT and corporate network. Once your foundation has been set, you will look at the best practices and recommendations when it comes to bridging the air gap. You will learn a systematic process of intrusion and malware analysis. Once you have the process for analysis mastered, you will be introduced to the digital forensic process and how to respond to incidents when a breach is detected.
