Purpose
This course is designed to bring IT security personnel up to speed with process control systems and their traffic over corporate networks. Through this course, students will gain a working knowledge of several control systems security issues, including common risks and mitigation strategies. Topics include: process control network communications, vulnerability identification, network monitoring and incident management. This class is a combination of lecture on theory and hands-on practical laboratory assignments designed to demonstrate the differences between enterprise IT systems and process control systems with respect to security.
