ICS/SCADA Security: Protecting Critical Infrastructure

Secure Critical Infrastructure. Protect Industrial Control Systems Against Cyber Threats.

Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and SCADA environments power energy grids, manufacturing, oil & gas, utilities, and smart cities. As operational technology (OT) converges with enterprise IT, securing these environments is critical. The ICS/SCADA Security program at Skyline Centre of Excellence equips professionals with hands-on skills in OT network segmentation, Modbus/DNP3 protocol inspection, Purdue model enforcement, and critical asset defense.
