Description
The course is aimed at cyber security specialists interested in the governance and technical aspects of securing Industrial Control Systems (ICSs) such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) controlling physical systems, e.g., water management facilities and power grids. The course will provide an overview of various critical infrastructures and focus on electrical power grids.
Course objectives
Participants are able to:
describe and discuss the stakeholders of and complexities in critical infrastructures.
explain and analyse the ICS architectures for power grids.
explain main cyber security concepts and common policies in ICS for power grids.
