Department of Energy - National SCADA Test Bed

For space availability in the Intermediate Control Systems Security class, please contact Alan Paller at apaller@sans.org.


The Department of Homeland Security National Cyber Security Division and Department of Energy NSTB in conjunction with the SANS SCADA Security Summit 2009 in Orlando, Fl, is are offering two training courses on control systems cyber security. These training courses are instructed by industry experts and provide participants an enhanced understanding of the importance of control systems cyber security. Class seats are limited and registration will be closed once filled. These courses are free of charge to all attendees based upon available space. For space availability in the Intermediate Control Systems Security class, please contact Alan Paller at apaller@sans.org.  Registration limited to one course per person.


Who should attend: Information security personnel, SCADA security personnel, SCADA engineers/integrators, network engineers and developers.

This 8 hour hands-on course is structured to help students analyze vulnerabilities in control system environments and apply contemporary security mitigation strategies and methods to control systems.

This technical, hands-on course is structured to help students understand exactly how attacks against process control systems could be launched and to provide mitigation strategies to increase the cyber security posture of their control systems networks.

Because this course is hands-on, students will get a deeper understanding of how the various tools work. Accompanying this course is a sample process control network used to demonstrate protecting against exploits used for unauthorized control of the equipment. This network is also used during the course for the many hands-on exercises that will help the students develop control systems cyber-security skills they can apply when they return to their jobs.

Every student attending this course must have a laptop computer that they can configure and bring to the class. All students in the class should have basic coding skills and a fairly deep understanding of network details, from UDP to TCP, from MAC to IP.

Excellent, relevant, immediately useful information. I can't wait to get back to the office to try it out.
