I. Overview:

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 Cyber Security Training Course is a hands-on training which will enable you to learn the foundation of security and defending architectures from attacks. You will look at the concept of "thinking like a hacker" to learn techniques to defend from the types of attacks that are commonly conducted against the oil and gas IT corporate and control network

II. Duration: 40 hours (5 days)

III. Objective:

• 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.
• The ICS/SCADA Cybersecurity course is a hands-on training module that teaches the foundations of security and defending network architectures from attacks. Students will learn to think like a malicious hacker to defend their organizations.
• ICS/SCADA teaches powerful methods to analyze risks possessed by network infrastructure in IT and corporate spaces. Once your foundation or basic concepts are clear, you will learn a systematic process of intrusion and malware analysis. After this, you will learn about digital forensic process and incident response techniques upon detecting a breach.

IV. Intended Audience:

• This course is designed for IT professionals who manage or direct their organization's IT infrastructure and are responsible for establishing and maintaining information security policies, practices, and procedures.
• SCADA Systems personnel and Business System Analysts who support SCADA interfaces.
• System Administrators, Engineers, and other IT professionals who are administering, patching, securing SCADA, and/or ICS
• Security Consultants who are performing security assessments of SCADA and/or ICS.

V. Prerequisites:

• Linux operating system fundamentals, including basic command line usage.
• Conceptual knowledge of programming/scripting.
• Solid grasp of essential networking concepts (OSI model, TCP/IP, networking devices, and transmission media).
• Understanding of basic security concepts (e.g., malware, intrusion detection systems, firewalls, and vulnerabilities).
• Familiarity with network traffic inspection tools (Wireshark, TShark, or TCPdump) is highly recommended.
