Securing Industrial IoT Networks with Cisco Technologies (ISECIN)

COURSE OUTLINE:

Description

This course provides an overview of the IoT enabled industrial verticals (manufacturing, energy, O&G, utilities, process control), architectures, and IIoT security requirements, frameworks, and regulations. Security protocols, vulnerabilities, and the process of securing against the vulnerabilities are examined in depth and practiced in the hands-on lab environment.

Audience

  • Security Engineer
  • Security Operations
  • Security Analysts
  • Systems, Solutions Architects
  • System Integrators
  • Senior OT Engineers

Prerequisites

It is highly recommended to have the following skills and knowledge before attending this course:

  • IP Networking Basics: INICS, ICND1 equivalent

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Understand the convergent enterprise and industrial IoT architecture, components and applications
  • Contrast enterprise IT vs. industrial OT security
  • Define layered security requirements from the network edge to the core, and from access to applications layer
  • Protect endpoints, communications as well as data at rest and in motion
  • Compliance to standards and regulations and auditing
  • Understand protocols, applications and IPv6 for IIoT
  • Identify vulnerabilities and threat
  • Familiarize with common implementation issues
  • Assess, monitor and detect vulnerabilities
  • Walk through IIoT attacks
  • Adopt best practices in design principles and process for securing and segmenting IIoT networks
  • Application of the converged security model for the broader industry: manufacturing, utilities, transportation, O&G
