Course Description

CYBV 330 is an introduction to Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and what ICS devices do, what applications these devices solve and how these devices are configured. Students will go over the vulnerabilities in these devices and will be able to describe why ICS devices are vulnerable, what cyber security professionals can do to protect this critical infrastructure and how one solution does not fit all. This class will describe the use and application of industrial Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)s and describe the various components in industrialized control systems.

Learning Outcomes

The student will:

• Recognize and explain the differences between each ICS System Architectures
• Explain how to integrate multiple ICS systems together
• Recognize and explain the different types of ICS network topologies
• Recognize and explain ICS device architectures
• Recognize and explain the Purdue model and demonstrate ability to deploy model in enterprise environment
• Demonstrate an ICS risk management framework and assessment
• Recognize and explain ICS security architectures
• Demonstrate how to apply security controls to ICS networks

Course Objectives

The student will:

• Demonstrate the ability to construct an ICS network
• Define and identify differences between ICS protocols
• Identify and evaluate the interaction between the different elements within a ICS/SCADA network.
• Exercise critical thinking strategies including reasoning, problem solving, analysis and evaluation by identifying and recognizing potential security vulnerabilities within ICS/SCADA networks, hardware, and software architectures.
  • Describe and demonstrate the vulnerabilities of ICS devices.
  • Describe, and implement a secure ICS network
