Industrial Control Systems (ICS) run many aspects of critical infrastructure and manufacturing. In this practical led workshop, you'll learn what ICS is, how to identify ICS devices and a number of ways to attack them, with practical labs using real-word devices. No past experience required!
Operational Technology (OT) underpins the critical infrastructures on which we rely everyday. Devices and systems such as programmable logic controllers, SCADA platforms and distributed control systems are central to delivering water and power to our homes, driving manufacturing environments and safe, continued operation of transportation systems. As attacks against OT systems grow, what are the typical security issues that plague such environments? What are the anti-patterns that repeatedly occur across OT systems compromising their security and leaving attackers with easy forays into the very heart of critical infrastructures. This talk will reflect on experiences of nearly 30 years and the deadly sins from which many OT environments suffer. What can we do to avoid these traps? In fact, quite a lot!
