Security of industrial control systems

Description

The subject involves the formation of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in industrial management systems and cyber security of critical infrastructures. within the scope of the subject, the differences between IT and OT environments, the architecture of industrial control systems and the working principles of basic industrial technologies such as scada, plc, dcs, rtu, HMI are studied. students are introduced to the features and security risks of modbus, dnp3, ICCP and other industrial communication protocols. methods of identifying, analyzing and eliminating vulnerabilities, cyber threats and risks in critical infrastructures are reviewed. it also examines the adaptation of appropriate cybersecurity measures applied in the IT environment to OT systems and approaches to ensuring security in the industrial environment. the subject is aimed at forming the skills of students to analyze cyber security events that have occurred in industrial systems, identify the root causes and choose appropriate protective measures.
