What you'll learn
Attacks against Industrial Control Systems (ICS) can cause manufacturing downtime, disrupt electricity generation or water supplies, and stop public services such as transport and telecommunication systems. In this course, Specialized Attacks: OT and ICS, you’ll learn to identify vulnerable systems, exploit inherent weaknesses, and perform actions that could disrupt operational technologies. First, you’ll explore how to identify internet facing operational technology, including control systems. Next, you’ll discover how to analyze the communications between industrial control systems. Finally, you’ll learn how to interact with those systems to perform unintended operations and disrupt operations. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll understand how to assess ICS environments, identify weaknesses and describe the potential consequences of an attack. This will enable you to make the case for continued investment in cyber security and reduce the likelihood of operational downtime.
