Course Details
• Network Security Fundamentals: This unit covers the basics of network security, including security policies, threats, vulnerabilities, and attacks. It also introduces students to common security technologies such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and virtual private networks (VPNs).
• Industrial Network Architecture: This unit explores the unique characteristics of industrial networks, including their topology, protocols, and devices. It also covers the design and implementation of secure industrial network architectures that meet the specific needs of industrial environments.
• Secure Communication Protocols: This unit focuses on the communication protocols used in industrial networks, including Modbus, DNP3, and IEC 60870-5. It covers the security features of these protocols, as well as their limitations and weaknesses. The unit also introduces students to secure alternatives, such as Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture (OPC UA).
• Network Segmentation and Access Control: This unit covers the concepts of network segmentation and access control, which are critical for securing industrial networks. It explores different segmentation techniques, such as virtual local area networks (VLANs) and subnets, and access control methods, such as role-based access control (RBAC) and mandatory access control (MAC).
• Wireless Network Security: This unit focuses on the security of wireless networks, which are commonly used in industrial environments. It covers the unique challenges of securing wireless networks, including their susceptibility to eavesdropping and interference. The unit also introduces students to wireless security technologies, such as wireless protected access (WPA) and industrial wireless mesh networks (IWMNs).
• Incident Response and Disaster Recovery: This unit covers the processes and procedures for responding to and recovering from security incidents in industrial networks. It explores the importance of having an incident response plan, as well as the steps involved in incident handling, such as detection, containment, eradication, and recovery.
• Security Risk Assessment: This unit introduces students to the process
