ICS SCADA Complete Training Program
Industrial Control Systems (ICS) harness the power of control systems and information to enhance productivity, efficiency, safety, and reliability across various industry operations and critical infrastructure. The key components of ICS encompass:
1. Control components such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), SCADA systems, and distributed control systems (DCS).
2. Software applications designed for visualization, database management, and analytics.
3. Networks facilitating communication between different components.
4. Physical process equipment like reactors, generators, and mixers.
5. Human-machine interfaces (HMIs) for intuitive interaction.
6. Instrumentation comprising sensors and actuators.
Control components play a pivotal role in automating industrial processes. PLCs facilitate regulatory control by interfacing with field devices, executing logic, and processing inputs and outputs. DCS orchestrates control in distributed systems, while ICS/SCADA consolidates data for human operators to manage set points, alarm parameters, schedules, and commands through HMIs.
Similar to the central nervous system in biological entities, SCADA acts as the central hub for information processing, visualization, and control within the industrial automation environment.
Our ICS SCADA program covers the following areas:
1. Introduction to SCADA Security: Provides an overview of ICS and SCADA systems, including standard components like Basic Process Control Systems (BPCS) and Safety Instrumentation Systems (SIS), along with examining their strengths and weaknesses concerning security.
2. ICS Protocols: This section explores the security features of prevalent ICS protocols and compares them with other Information Technology systems. It delves into commonly used ICS protocols such as Modbus, DNP3, HART, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and BACnet.
3. SCADA Security Frameworks: Discusses emerging threats to SCADA systems, citing specific examples of attacks and outlining security frameworks, strategies, policies, standards, procedures, and guidelines.
4. SCADA Security Assessment: This section covers the risk management process, SCADA security objectives, the structure of security assessment programs, and methodologies for conducting SCADA security testing.
5. SCADA Device Identification and Analysis: Identifies vulnerabilities in SCADA systems, covering vulnerability scanning, server OS testing, authentication, remote access, and providing insights into SCADA manufacturers with known vulnerabilities.
6. Pentesting SCADA Services and Protocols: This section focuses on penetration-testing SCADA services and protocols, including attacking standard services, server OS, ICS protocols, and wireless communications.
7. SCADA Access Controls: Addresses the fundamentals of system control categorization, physical safety, access control models, identification, authentication, authorization, and physical security measures.
8. Remote Access and Field Site Security: Explores remote access technologies, firewall architectures, field site firewalls, encryption methods, and related security considerations.
9. SCADA Network Security: Covers secure network design, firewall configurations, logical security zones, firewall rules, and tips for selecting network security providers.
10. SCADA Intrusion Detection and Incident Response: This chapter examines incident detection, prevention, the Snort open-source intrusion detection system (IDS), log monitoring, log management, and incident response strategies.
11. SCADA Preventative Controls: Discuss preventive measures such as anti-malware, patch management, application allowlisting, Active Directory, and Group Policy, emphasizing proactive disaster prevention.
12. ICS/SCADA Security Best Practices: This section explores best practices encompassing prevention, detection, and correction to ensure robust security measures across ICS/SCADA systems.
