On line-Training Configurazione e Programmazione Sicura dei Sistemi a Controllo Numerico (DI-CNHARD)

  • Cyber incidents involving the automation and control systems of 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 such as WannaCry, Industroyer and Petya/NotPetya have given rise to large-scale attacks since 2016. However, the solution is not only the adoption of the latest technological advances, but above all the adequate preparation of the staff of the entire company, which very often represents the weak 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, CN) with a cybersecurity-oriented approach, which provides programmers with the skills necessary to implement the hardening of the various devices and security "by design" in the application software and therefore increase the level of resilience of the entire automation system. The course is the result of over 20 years of experience on SCADA, PLC, fieldbus, remote I/O and numerical control systems.

Objectives

  • After attending the course you will be able to:
    • Understand aspects of cybersecurity specific to OT applications
    • Identify potential cyber risks of an automation system
    • Design a PLC, HMI and CN system that offers greater protection against cyber attacks
    • Write an industrial application that includes cyber security "by design"
    • Diagnose and correct automation program execution problems impacting cyber
Type Online-Training
