Overview
Industrial automation processes use industrial control systems (ICS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems to control industrial processes locally or remotely and to monitor, gather, and process real-time data.
As the rapid growth of interconnectivity among systems continue (i.e., Internet of Things, Industrial Internet), ICS and SCADA systems are now accessible and becoming high–priority targets for hackers. Cyber criminals have already developed malware threats that can disrupt industrial Operation Technology (OT). 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 traditional IT systems.
As a busy cybersecurity professional, the most convenient path for you to attain the ICS/SCADA certification is via the EC Council online learning platform, iLearn. The benefit of this mode of learning is that you will be taught by a world-class cybersecurity practitioner, who is a Certified EC-Council Instructor in a self-paced, video-based training that comes with an option to actually perform hands-on “live” exercises via our Cyber Range, i-Labs. The beauty of this self-paced mode is that you can set your own learning pace by learning anytime, anywhere. It is akin to having your own personal consultant 24x7, 365 days a year!
Prerequisites
- Linux operating system fundamentals, including basic command line usage
- Networking concepts, and basic understanding of security concepts
- Familiarity with network traffic inspection tools (Wireshark, TShark, or TCPdump) is recommended but not essential
This course is specially designed for IT professionals who are involved in managing or directing their organization’s IT infrastructure and who are responsible for establishing and maintaining information security policies, practices and procedures. The focus in the course is on the Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Systems.
Objectives
The ICS/SCADA Cybersecurity course is a hands-on training which will enable you to learn the foundations of security and defend 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 industrial IT corporate and ICS/SCADA control networks.
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.
