The ICS Security Challenge
Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and SCADA systems form the backbone of critical infrastructure including power grids, water treatment facilities, manufacturing plants, and transportation systems. These systems were traditionally designed for reliability and safety, not security, making them vulnerable to cyber threats that could disrupt essential services and cause physical damage. At Amynasec, we understand that ICS security isn't just about protecting networks—it's about safeguarding public safety, national security, and the continuity of essential services that modern society depends on.
Key Security Challenges We Address:
- Legacy Systems: Securing aging industrial equipment with outdated protocols and limited security features that were never designed for network connectivity
- Protocol Vulnerabilities: Testing industrial protocols like Modbus, DNP3, OPC, and EtherNet/IP for authentication bypasses and manipulation attacks
- Physical Safety Risks: Identifying cyber threats that could cause physical damage, environmental harm, or endanger personnel safety
- Operational Continuity: Ensuring security measures don't disrupt critical operations or compromise system reliability and availability
- Regulatory Compliance: Meeting NERC CIP, IEC 62443, and industry-specific regulatory requirements for critical infrastructure security
Our Assessment Includes:
SCADA System Testing
Comprehensive security assessment of SCADA systems, HMI interfaces, and supervisory control networks for vulnerabilities and unauthorized access risks.
PLC & RTU Security
Advanced testing of Programmable Logic Controllers and Remote Terminal Units for firmware vulnerabilities, logic manipulation, and unauthorized control.
Industrial Protocol Analysis
Security testing of industrial communication protocols including Modbus, DNP3, OPC, and proprietary protocols for injection and replay attacks.
Network Segmentation
Assessment of network architecture, firewall configurations, and segmentation between IT and OT networks to prevent lateral movement.
Our Assessment Process
ICS Asset Discovery
