ICS/SCADA Cybersecurity

The ICS/SCADA Cybersecurity Training is a specialized program designed to protect industrial control systems (ICS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) environments from modern cyber threats. As critical infrastructure such as power plants, oil and gas facilities, manufacturing units, water treatment systems, and transportation networks become increasingly connected, securing operational technology (OT) environments has become a top priority.

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of industrial cybersecurity principles, threat landscapes, and defense strategies specific to OT systems. Participants learn how ICS/SCADA environments differ from traditional IT systems and how to implement security controls without disrupting safety, reliability, and operational continuity.

The training covers industrial network architecture, secure communication protocols, access control, threat detection, incident response, and regulatory compliance. With a strong emphasis on real-world scenarios, learners gain the skills required to identify vulnerabilities, mitigate risks, and secure critical infrastructure against cyberattacks.

Course Objectives:

• Understand ICS and SCADA architectures and components
• Identify cyber threats targeting industrial control systems
• Differentiate between IT and OT security requirements
• Secure industrial networks and communication protocols
• Implement access control and authentication in OT environments
• Monitor and detect cyber threats in ICS/SCADA systems
• Develop incident response strategies for industrial cyber incidents
• Align ICS security practices with industry standards and regulations
• Reduce operational risks while maintaining system availability
• Support secure and resilient critical infrastructure operations
