Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems are some of the most poorly understood, yet most critical systems in use in the world today, and while they generally remain unseen are responsible for the smooth running of our daily routines – from the moment we turn on a tap in the morning, to turning off the lights at night. This two day course will provide a primer, into the world of securing industrial control, and automation systems as they relate to the numerous industries where they are most prolific.

Tom Parker and Jonathan Pollet teamed up to create this 2-day course specifically for BlackHat events, and the first course offering in at the BlackHat USA 2011 event in Las Vegas sold out with 60 students within the first month. Tom and Jonathan have been invited back to the BlackHat event each year in Las Vegas, and check the BlackHat web site for more details on this course.
