ICS SCADA Security sevice

Industrial Control Systems, specifically the older installations, are often deployed as isolated installations with no access to external networks, including the internet. Most security controls spin around physical security. Today, these ICS networks are getting connected, and true network isolation is becoming uncommon.

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

Initiatives like Digital Transformation direct 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 not only disrupt data but also disrupt production, create 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. It can be details regarding the machines, system, and network. The operational requirements get assessed here.

ICS / SCADA Risk Assessment

We accumulate information regarding various media used, and assess all those hosts, networks, and applications belonging to the entity’s environment. These details help conduct the assessments efficiently.

ICS / SCADA Gap Analysis

We accumulate information regarding various media used, and assess all those hosts, networks, and applications belonging to the entity’s environment. These details help conduct the assessments efficiently.

ICS / SCADA Penetration Testing

Our team conducts multiple processes like scanning the network with various scanning tools, detecting open share drives, open FTP portals, identifying running services, and more to detect underlying vulnerabilities.

ICS Security Services

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

ICS Incident Response

The engagement produces a detailed report of the assessment. It includes an Executive Summary for the management and a detailed report on each of the findings with their risk ratings and remediation recommendations.

Benefits of SCADA / ICS Security Testing

A Penetration test gets 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
