EC-Council ICS SCADA Cybersecurity Training

The ICS/SCADA Cybersecurity course is a hands-on training module that teaches the foundations of security and defending network architectures from attacks. Students will learn to think like a malicious hacker to defend their organizations.

ICS/SCADA teaches powerful methods to analyze risks possessed by network infrastructure in IT and corporate spaces. Once your foundation or basic concepts are clear, you will learn a systematic process of intrusion and malware analysis. After this, you will learn about digital forensic process and incident response techniques upon detecting a breach.

This course is designed for IT professionals who manage or direct their organization’s IT infrastructure and are responsible for establishing and maintaining information security policies, practices, and procedures. The focus in the course is on the Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Systems.

• Linux operating system fundamentals, including basic command line usage
• Conceptual knowledge of programming/scripting
• Solid grasp of essential networking concepts (OSI model, TCP/IP, networking, devices, and transmission media)
• Understanding of basic security concepts (e.g., malware, intrusion detection, systems, firewalls, and vulnerabilities)
• Familiarity with network traffic inspection tools (Wireshark, TShark, or TCPdump) is highly recommended
