The Art of Cyber Espionage: Unleashing the Power of SCADA and ICS Hacking
In today’s world, cyber espionage is becoming increasingly prevalent, especially in the critical infrastructure sector. This is why it is essential to understand the art of cyber espionage through the exploitation of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS). In this presentation, we will take a deep dive into the techniques used by attackers to compromise SCADA and ICS systems, and gain access to sensitive information. The session will be interactive, with live demonstrations showcasing how these systems can be manipulated to cause physical damage, disrupt operations, and steal data. Attendees will learn how to identify vulnerabilities and harden their SCADA and ICS systems to prevent attacks. We will explore attack scenarios and their impact on critical infrastructure. This will enable attendees to develop a comprehensive understanding of the threats that their organizations face and the techniques used by attackers to exploit vulnerabilities. The presentation will be conducted by a seasoned cybersecurity professional with extensive experience in SCADA and ICS hacking. Attendees will learn from real-world examples and leave with practical knowledge that can be immediately applied to their organization’s security posture. This presentation will provide a practical understanding of SCADA and ICS hacking techniques and the steps that organizations can take to protect themselves from attacks. The session will begin with an overview of SCADA and ICS systems, their components, and their importance in critical infrastructure.
