The Journey to ICS

Explore the world of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) in this 18-minute conference talk from BSidesLV 2015. Delve into the journey of Operational Technology, understanding its locations, associated risks, and key vocabulary. Examine the differences between Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. Discover the various components of ICS, including enforcement, safety, process control, and operations zones. Learn about network architecture, potential attack landscapes, and common weaknesses in control systems. Gain insights into assessment techniques and protective measures for ICS, while also exploring relevant industry standards.
