Cyber Security for Industrial Control Systems

Introduction

This training course ” Cyber Security for Industrial Control Systems ” is designed where the threat of Cyber Attacks is widespread and global, which affects individuals, commercial organisations and nation states alike. The ability to safeguard your organisation and technology from attacks, and more importantly understand how to identify, analyse, respond and investigate cyber-attacks as a security breach is paramount. The ability for an Information Security Breach resulting in the circumvention of operational technology controls can have disastrous effects, as we have seen with global documented case such as Ukraine Power Station attack in December 2015.

Attacks are growing in number and sophistication. The networked control systems are often integrated and reliant with specialist strategic partners underpins your organisational risk and competitive ability. Furthermore, to effectively detect and deter any cyber-attack, you need to understand the nature, motive and ways of perceived cyber threat actors.
