Computer Security for Industrial Control Systems at Nuclear Facilities

This course is designed to introduce students to the control system security with specific attention to representative systems that might exists at nuclear facilities such as those used for nuclear safety, nuclear security, and sensitive information processing.

The students will be introduced to standard ICS architectures and components as well as operational characteristics of such systems in nuclear facilities.  This introduction will include description of common protocols, configurations, and operations. Next the student will be introduced to threats and common attack vectors against such systems including possible indications of system compromise. Finally, the students will be instructed on the use of computer security controls including technology and tools for use by computer security professionals managing ICS.

Hands on exercises will demonstrate the use of common computer security tools to support ICS security management.  Such tools may include those used for network exploration, asset discovery, network traffic monitoring, intrusion detection, red teaming, virtual sandboxing, and implementation of honeypots.

Please note only nominated participants will be granted access to the course material.
