About the ICS/SCADA Cyber Security Essentials course
Securing an ICS / SCADA environment is no easy task. The hardware and software in industrial environments is complex, both in terms of technology and ownership, and this complexity is constantly increasing. The threats are significant, as is the impact. This two-day course is designed to better understand an ICS environment and improve the security of ICS systems / OT environments.
Who should attend?
This course is intended for those that want to learn the fundamentals of Industrial Automation Security from a defense perspective without diving too deep into the technical specifics (we’d advise you to take the ICS/ SCADA hacking course for a more in- depth and offensive perspective). Typical students include but are not limited to Plant managers, Risk Managers, Security Officers, System integrators, EPC contractors, SCADA Architects.
