SINCON 2020 Conference Insights Track
Day 1 (2 Jan 2021)
11.30am—12.15pm
@ Main Stage
Abstract
In the past, the cybersecurity issues of Industrial control systems (ICS) were neglected. However, ICS connects with people's lives which consists of power, water, traffic, manufacturing and extends to critical infrastructure. In the past 10 years, more and more ICS cybersecurity incidents have happened which may cause loss of life and property. So we need to care about ICS cybersecurity issues and make sure we have a safe environment.
In our presentation, we will introduce the background knowledge of ICS, what kinds of security threats exist and attack vectors in ICS, and demo how hackers hack PLC with Industrial communication protocol. After hacking the demo, we will provide a defense strategy to secure ICS.
