Overview
In today's technologically driven world, the reliance on systems that oversee and govern industrial processes continues to grow. Industries such as the electric power grid, water and sewage systems, oil and gas pipelines, and various other critical infrastructures heavily rely on Industrial Control Systems/Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (ICS/SCADA) systems. These systems are instrumental in monitoring and controlling the operations of essential infrastructure. The Advanced OT Cyber Security course offered is designed to equip participants with a solid foundation in the realm of ICS/SCADA Cyber Security.
The curriculum covers a range of topics including an overview of ICS/SCADA, an exploration of the current threat landscape faced by ICS/SCADA systems, defensive strategies, and more. It's important to note that Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are frequently targeted by cybercriminals due to the crucial nature of the processes they oversee, which encompass a variety of critical services such as power distribution, water supply, transportation, and manufacturing. Given the vulnerabilities inherent in ICS systems, an attack or breach could have catastrophic consequences, leading to widespread outages, substantial user impacts, and even national emergencies. Penetration testing specific to ICS systems necessitates a deep understanding of the field and access to relevant hardware.
By the end of the course, you will have mastered ICS/SCADA Cyber Security.
