Industrial Control Systems Security Intermediate

The course introduces ICS and the major differences to classical IT environments; introduces the major challenges to secure ICS environments; indicates the nature of threats with examples; discusses security architecture for ICS (e.g., based on standards such as IEC 62443); introduce ICS-specific challenges associated with detecting attacks; as an advanced module, could give an introduction to penetration testing for ICS environments.

Overview

The course introduces ICS and the major differences to classical IT environments; introduces the major challenges to secure ICS environments; indicates the nature of threats with examples; discusses security architecture for ICS (e.g., based on standards such as IEC 62443); introduce ICS-specific challenges associated with detecting attacks; as an advanced module, could give an introduction to penetration testing for ICS environments.

Goals

Vulnerability assessment (using tools such as openVAS and its ICS extensions), re-arrange the architecture of the system to mitigate potential threats, configuring intrusion detection systems and firewall rules that reduce the exposure.
