ICS/SCADA Cybersecurity Training

ICS/SCADA Cybersecurity

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.
