On line-Training Configurazione e Programmazione Sicura dei Sistemi di Automazione (DI-S7HARD)

  • Cyber incidents involving automation and control systems at industrial sites continue to grow exponentially. The impact they have can have very serious consequences, not only for the production cycle but also for the protection of people and property.
    Malware come WannaCry, Industroyer e Petya/NotPetya since 2016 have given rise to large-scale attacks. The solution, however, is not only the adoption of the latest technology, but above all the proper preparation of personnel throughout the company, who very often represent the weakest link in the entire security chain. For this reason, we offer a training course dedicated to the configuration and programming of automation systems (PLC, HMI, Drive) with a cybersecurity-oriented approach, providing programmers with the necessary skills to implement hardening of the various devices and security 'by design' in the application software and thus increase the level of resilience of the entire automation system. The course is based on more than 20 years of experience with SCADA, PLC, fieldbus, remote I/O systems.

Objectives

  • - Understand cybersecurity aspects specific to OT applications
  • - Identify the potential cyber risks of an automation system
  • - Design a PLC, HMI and SCADA system that offers enhanced protection against cyber attacks
  • - Write a PLC application that includes cyber security "by design
  • - Diagnosing and correcting PLC program execution problems with an impact on cyber
Type Online-Training
Duration 2 days
