Master the security of the industrial systems that run critical infrastructure in this advanced course on SCADA and ICS security. You'll learn how industrial systems communicate, performing reconnaissance across industrial networks and interacting with PLCs, sensors, and controllers through common and advanced SCADA protocols. You'll build an industrial honeypot for early detection, analyze real-world SCADA attacks and their malware, and get hands-on with firmware reverse engineering and credential extraction; culminating in a realistic simulated compromise of a natural gas power generation environment. As criminal groups and state-backed actors increasingly target industrial systems, this training builds the skills to identify weak points, detect threats earlier, and strengthen defenses. Applicable directly to critical infrastructure protection, security monitoring, incident response, and threat analysis.ng real-world industrial operations.
Who this course is for
This course is intended for industrial security professionals, OT security engineers, SOC analysts working with critical infrastructure, incident responders, threat researchers, red and purple team members, and technical staff responsible for SCADA or ICS environments. It is also suitable for learners who want to understand how industrial systems operate and how attackers and defenders approach them differently.
Prerequisites or Tools Needed
Students should have a basic understanding of networking, Windows and Linux systems, and general cybersecurity concepts. Familiarity with industrial operations is helpful. A laptop capable of running virtual machines is recommended.
