Alpine Security Sponsored Industrial Control Systems Workshop at API Cybersecurity Conference & Expo
Alpine Security presented an Industrial Control Systems / SCADA security workshop at the 2015 API Cybersecurity conference. The ICS Workshop focused on methods used to perform a security assessment of an ICS network and highlights the differences between assessing a critical ICS environment and a traditional IT environment.
St Louis, MO, November 14, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Alpine Security sponsored an Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Workshop at the 10th Annual API (American Petroleum Institute) Cybersecurity Conference and Expo. This workshop was a four hour immersive hands-on event that focused on security testing of Industrial Control Systems, also known as SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) and DCS (Distributed Control Systems).
The workshop provided participants with a methodical approach to address the unique challenges associated with ICS security testing. This methodology minimizes the increased risks associated with assessing critical infrastructure. In addition, Alpine Security covered ICS device discovery techniques using tools such as Nmap and the NSE (Nmap Scripting Engine). Vulnerability Scanning was covered as well with an emphasis on Tenable Nessus and the Nessus SCADA Plugins. The workshop also immersed attendees in the exploitation of vulnerable ICS systems and protocols using tools and methods such as Metasploit, Armitage, John the Ripper, Ettercap, Wireshark, hex editors, packet injection, etc.
