Course Description

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.

Course Format and Structure

The course combines lecture, demonstration, and lab work. Students will first learn the theory behind industrial systems and protocols, then apply that knowledge in exercises that reinforce observation and analysis. The teaching style is practical with an emphasis on understanding how systems behave and how defenders can gather insight from those behaviors.

Time Commitment

Typically, this course can be completed in about five to seven days, combining classroom instruction with lab work. If additional time is needed for deeper exploration or a slower pace, the course can be extended to up to 10 days.
