Description
The Vulnerability Management in SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) Training is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively manage vulnerabilities in SCADA systems. SCADA systems are widely used in industries such as energy, manufacturing, and transportation, and securing these systems against potential vulnerabilities is of utmost importance to ensure operational integrity and prevent potential cyber threats.
Course Objectives
- Understand SCADA systems: Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of SCADA systems, including their architecture, components, and operational principles. This knowledge will provide a foundation for understanding the vulnerabilities associated with SCADA systems.
- Identify SCADA vulnerabilities: Participants will learn various techniques and tools used to identify vulnerabilities in SCADA systems. They will explore common vulnerabilities and weaknesses that can be exploited by malicious actors, including those related to network infrastructure, software, and human factors.
- Perform vulnerability assessments: Participants will learn how to conduct vulnerability assessments specifically tailored to SCADA systems. They will understand the importance of asset identification, risk prioritization, and vulnerability scanning techniques. Additionally, participants will explore methodologies for evaluating the impact and likelihood of exploitation.
- Implement vulnerability management strategies: Participants will gain practical knowledge on developing and implementing effective vulnerability management strategies for SCADA systems. They will learn about risk mitigation techniques, including patch management, system hardening, and secure configuration practices.
- Respond to vulnerabilities: Participants will learn how to respond promptly and effectively to identified vulnerabilities. They will explore incident response procedures, including containment, eradication, and recovery techniques. Additionally, participants will understand the importance of communication and collaboration with relevant stakeholders during the vulnerability response process.
- Develop a vulnerability management program: Participants will acquire the skills needed to develop a comprehensive vulnerability management program for SCADA systems. They will learn how to establish policies, procedures, and guidelines that facilitate ongoing vulnerability assessment, risk mitigation, and continuous improvement.
