EC-Council Workshop at the ICS/SCADA Symposium in Chicago!
EC-Council is excited to host an immersive, hands-on workshop at this year’s ICS/SCADA Cybersecurity Symposium in Chicago. This session offers participants a practical introduction to industrial cybersecurity, with a strong emphasis on real-world application and threat mitigation.
Workshop Date: June 2nd, 2025
Symposium: June 3rd & 4th, 2025
Workshop Highlights Include:
Introduction to ICS/SCADA Cybersecurity
Get a foundational overview of ICS/SCADA systems, key components like PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, and industrial protocols such as Modbus and DNP3. Explore the key differences between IT and OT environments, and review leading standards like NIST 800-82 and IEC 62443.
Hands-On:
- Network scanning and asset discovery in a simulated ICS environment
- Traffic capture and analysis using Wireshark
ICS Network Security & Segmentation
Learn best practices for securing industrial networks through segmentation, DMZ implementation, firewall configuration, and deploying intrusion detection/prevention systems.
Hands-On:
- Firewall setup and network segmentation
- Detecting unauthorized Modbus commands through log analysis
Protocol Analysis
& Monitoring
Understand how to capture and analyze ICS protocol traffic, identify suspicious patterns, and deploy tools like Snort or Suricata for real-time threat detection.
Hands-On:
- ICS traffic monitoring and alert setup
- Defending against unauthorized access
Securing ICS Environments & Incident Response
From hardening devices to developing incident response frameworks, this section covers resilience planning and real-time breach investigation techniques.
Hands-On:
- Securing endpoints
- Investigating an ICS breach scenario
