Secure your critical information infrastructure, secure the nation. ValueMentor helps you secure the ICS / SCADA environments

Industrial Control Systems, specifically the older installations, are often deployed as isolated installations, with no access to the external networks including the internet. Most of their security controls revolve around physical security. Today, these ICS networks are getting connected indirectly and true network isolation is becoming uncommon. Initiatives like Digital Transformation leads the business case towards ICS systems integration with business networks. Also, some malware can use extreme tactics to connect the air-gaped networks to the internet.

Attackers controlling an ICS environment can not only destruct the data but also disrupt the production, physical damage and risk the lives of people.

SCADA / ICS Security Services

SCADA ICS Security Services

ICS Cyber Security Framework

Our team presents the scope of penetration testing to be carried out to the clients. Such as details regarding the machines, system, and network to be used, the operational requirements are assessed.

ICS / SCADA Risk Assessment

We gather information’s regarding various media used, analyze all those hosts, networks, and/or applications belongs to the entity’s environment so that with the help of those detail the testing could be conducted.

ICS / SCADA Gap Analysis

A Gap Analysis is designed to assist the organization to identify gaps in security systems and processes, which will reduce the risk and eliminate many threats.

ICS / SCADA Penetration Testing

Our team conducts certain processes like scanning the network with various scanning tools, identification of open share drives, open FTP portals, services that are running, and much more for the detection of vulnerabilities.

The vulnerabilities which are identified are further exploited in this process. Here the process is done manually using commercial tools and custom scripts and Powershell

ICS Incident Response

The engagement results in delivering a detailed report of the assessment. This includes an Executive Summary for the management, A Detailed report on each of the findings with their risk ratings and remediation recommendations.

Benefits of SCADA / ICS Security Testing

A Penetration test is useful only if the penetration tester provides you with an actionable report which is easy to understand and explains each risk in detail.

  • Reduces the exposed attack surface associated with known vulnerabilities. Patches are frequently released in response to publicly identified vulnerabilities.
  • Eliminates the readily exploitable code associated with unnecessary services on control system servers and workstations
  • Reduces or eliminates the vulnerabilities ranging from default accounts to weak passwords that provide opportunities for an intruder to enter the system.
  • Eliminates directory traversal attacks and other common vulnerabilities.
  • Industrial safety
