ICS / SCADA Security
ICS / SCADA Security
Industrial Control Systems, specifically the older installations, are often deployed as isolated installations with no access to external networks, including the internet. Most security controls spin around physical security. Today, these ICS networks are getting connected, and true network isolation is becoming uncommon.
Initiatives like Digital Transformation direct the business case towards ICS systems integration with business networks. Also, some malware can use extreme tactics to connect the air-gaped networks to the internet.
Attackers controlling an ICS environment not only disrupt data but also disrupt production, create physical damage and risk the lives of people.

ICS Security Testing
Our ICS / SCADA Security testing involves a step-by-step approach. The approach follows the CREST ICS Testing methodology and meets the NIST guidelines.Define & Agree The Scope
- Define the business purpose of engagement
- Agree on the ICS business process model
- Confirm specific systems, devices and infrastructure in scope
- Confirm the composition of the testing team
ICS Risk Assessment
- Gather threat intelligence
- Conduct threat modelling exercise
- Determine major vulnerabilities
- Assess risks and prioritise
- Agree on risk-based approach to testing
Identify ICS Assets
- Conduct ICS device discovery exercise
- Determine network topology
- Gather and review ICS network and device configuration information
- Agree ICS technical infrastructure mode
Develop Test Plan
- Create test scenarios mapped to the threat models
- Determine offline and online tests
- Create and agree progressive test schedule
ICS Penetration Testing
- Perform ICS Penetration Testing
- Perform ICS Offline security tests
- Perform ICS online security tests
- Improve the test plan based on the ICS assets identified
ICS Security Test Report
- Analyse test results and condolidate findings
- Document ICS environment remediation recommendations
- Review findings with key stakeholders
Benefits Of SCADA / ICS Security Testing
A Penetration test gets useful only if the penetration tester provides you with an actionable report which is easy to understand and explains each risk in detail.
- Reduces the exposed attack surface associated with known vulnerabilities. Patches are frequently released in response to publicly identified vulnerabilities.
- Eliminates the readily exploitable code associated with unnecessary services on control system servers and workstations
- Reduces or eliminates the vulnerabilities ranging from default accounts to weak passwords that provide opportunities for an intruder to enter the system.
- Eliminates directory traversal attacks and other common vulnerabilities.
