Critical infrastructure like water treatment plants and air traffic control towers are under constant attack by hostile nations, and securing them is a national priority. This workshop covers industrial automation systems, network security monitoring, incident response, and machine learning. Participants will perform many hands-on projects configuring systems, attacking them, and defending them.
All class materials are freely available on the Web and may be easily used in other classes.
Pre-requisites
Participants should understand networking at the Network+ level.
At-home computer requirements
Participants should have a computer with at least two monitors, so they can easily read instructions while performing projects.
