SCADA Security Manager training course is designed to help managers, supervisors, and operators in the field of IT to discover how to configure the required tools and features for developing and organizing SCADA projects in industrial processes.
SCADA – Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition is an industrial system framework that includes both hardware and software architecture to control, monitor and analyze an industrial process. SCADA is application software that enables managers, engineers, and industry operators, to supervise and efficiently communicate with the working environment.
As an application software, SCADA is designed to assist industry experts in maintaining and improving industrial processes. Hence, the objective of SCADA is to collect real-time data, and store, process and generate reports for the complex industrial processes.
Why is it essential to have a secured SCADA System?
SCADA is an essential tool that provides networking systems, communication and security technologies, and standards which are necessary to facilitate the maintenance of industrial processes. The application of technology is vital for individuals to innovate and develop procedures that will assist industries shortly.
SCADA aims to provide individuals with techniques to choose, plan and design technologies for improving the business processes and other utilities.
Also, SCADA will assist individuals to learn the required skills that are essential to plan, direct, operate and manage a project system in a working environment.
The importance of SCADA is the automation system which allows the organization and individuals to anticipate risk uncertainties, lower investment, maintenance costs and study optimal responses to the continuity of industrial processes.
This intensive course enables participants to develop the necessary expertise to plan, design, and implement an effective program to protect SCADA systems.
Participants will be able to understand standard Industrial Control System (ICS) threats, vulnerabilities, and risks related to ICS systems and how they can be managed. This training focuses on a mix of knowledge and skills related to SCADA/ICS security.
