Course Summary: Threats to SCADA Networks
I’m currently enrolled in this fascinating course where we are diving deep into the world of threats targeting Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and SCADA systems. We’re dissecting past attacks on critical infrastructure, analyzing real-world malware, and exploring the potential damage caused by insider threats. Through this exploration, I’m gaining a strong understanding of the methods used to exploit these systems. Additionally, we’re learning about the risks associated with connecting ICS/SCADA systems to the internet and how to design effective security solutions that encompass incident response, awareness training, and information sharing.
What I’m Learning:
- A deep understanding of the tactics used in historical and current attacks against ICS and SCADA.
- The ability to analyze malware source code to understand how these malicious programs work.
- Insight into the significant impact an insider can have on these systems.
- The vulnerabilities that arise from connecting ICS/SCADA systems to the internet.
- The skills to design robust security solutions to protect critical infrastructure.
