SCADA and ICS Security Assessment
Safeguarding Critical Infrastructure
In today’s connected world, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) form the backbone of critical infrastructure sectors like energy, water, transportation, and manufacturing. These systems ensure the smooth functioning of essential services, but their increased connectivity has also made them prime targets for cyberattacks.
At INFOCUS IT, we understand the unique security challenges associated with SCADA and ICS Security Assessment. Our SCADA and ICS Security Assessment services are designed to protect your critical infrastructure from cyber threats by identifying vulnerabilities and ensuring the integrity, availability, and security of your systems.
Why SCADA and ICS Security Assessment Matters
SCADA-ICS environments often have limited security mechanisms, outdated software, and a mix of legacy and modern technologies. While these systems were originally designed for operational efficiency and reliability, they were not built with cybersecurity in mind. With the convergence of IT and OT (Operational Technology) networks, the risk of cyberattacks on SCADA-ICS has increased significantly.
Key Risks to SCADA-ICS Environments:
- Unauthorized Access: Without proper security controls, attackers can gain access to critical systems, allowing them to disrupt operations, manipulate data, or cause physical damage.
- Insider Threats: Employees or contractors with access to SCADA/ICS networks may intentionally or unintentionally compromise the security of these systems.
- Outdated Software: Many SCADA and ICS environments run on legacy software that is no longer supported, leaving them vulnerable to exploits.
- Connectivity to IT Networks: The integration of IT systems with OT networks introduces new attack vectors, increasing the chances of a cyber incident.
- Compliance Requirements: Many industries that rely on SCADA and ICS systems must adhere to strict regulatory requirements for cybersecurity, such as NERC CIP, IEC 62443, and others.
What OurSCADA and ICS Security AssessmentCovers
We assess the architecture of your SCADA and ICS networks to identify weak points, misconfigurations, and potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers. This includes reviewing the segmentation between IT and OT networks, ensuring proper isolation where needed.
Our team conducts in-depth vulnerability scans and manual assessments to identify weaknesses in your SCADA/ICS devices, protocols, and systems. We evaluate both legacy and modern equipment to ensure a thorough assessment of your infrastructure.
We evaluate the effectiveness of your access control mechanisms, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access critical systems. This includes reviewing user roles, password policies, multi-factor authentication, and remote access protocols.
Proper configuration of SCADA/ICS devices is essential to prevent cyberattacks. We review your device configurations to ensure they align with industry best practices and identify any misconfigurations that could introduce vulnerabilities.
We assess your organization's ability to detect, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents in SCADA/ICS environments. This includes evaluating your monitoring tools, logging practices, and incident response plans to ensure you are prepared to respond to any security breaches.
SCADA-ICS Security Assessment are often vulnerable to physical threats, including tampering or unauthorized access to control systems. Our assessment includes a review of physical security controls to protect critical infrastructure components from sabotage or damage.
