The SCADA Security training course covers all aspects of Industrial Control System (ICS) security for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and Other control system configurations such as skid-mounted Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). This course also discusses SCADA Characteristics, Security Threats and Vulnerabilities, Threats, Potential SCADA Vulnerabilities, Policy and Procedure, and Platform Vulnerabilities and Network Vulnerabilities.
SCADA Risk Factors such as Standardized Protocols and Technologies, Connectivity, Insecure and Rogue Connections, SCADA Public Information, SCADA Possible Incident Scenarios and Sources of Incidents are also discussed. Attacking critical infrastructure control systems such as SCADA requires planning, passive monitoring, intelligence gathering, active attacks and the use of alternative access methods.
