Application Security
Securing ICS/SCADA systems is essential for maintaining operational integrity and protecting critical infrastructure from cyber threats. IPS’s specialized penetration testing services provide the expertise and support needed to safeguard your systems, meet compliance requirements, and enhance overall security resilience.
At IPS, we specialize in securing Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, which are vital to industries like utilities, manufacturing, and transportation. These critical infrastructures are often targeted by cyber threats, and our tailored penetration testing services are designed to uncover and address vulnerabilities, ensuring robust protection.
ICS/SCADA penetration testing helps ensure compliance with various industry standards and regulations. Here are some key compliance aspects often addressed:
ICS/SCADA penetration testing helps ensure compliance with various industry standards and regulations. Here are some key compliance aspects often addressed:
NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF): Ensures adherence to the guidelines and best practices for managing cybersecurity risks within ICS/SCADA systems.
ISA/IEC 62443: Meets the requirements for industrial automation and control systems security, focusing on system design, implementation, and ongoing management.
NERC CIP (North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection): Ensures compliance with security requirements specific to the power grid, including protection of ICS/SCADA systems.
FDA Guidelines: For systems in the healthcare sector, compliance with FDA guidelines for medical device security, ensuring that ICS/SCADA systems managing medical devices adhere to security standards.
ISO/IEC 27001: Supports adherence to information security management standards, ensuring that ICS/SCADA systems are managed and protected according to global best practices.
CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification): For defense contractors, compliance with CMMC ensures that ICS/SCADA systems meet specific cybersecurity maturity requirements.
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act): For healthcare environments, compliance with HIPAA ensures that ICS/SCADA systems protect sensitive patient information in line with regulatory requirements.
Network Security
Evaluating the security of network architecture, protocols, and configurations to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.
Physical Security
Assessing the physical protection of ICS/SCADA hardware to prevent unauthorized physical access or tampering.
Incident Response
Evaluating the effectiveness of existing incident response plans and procedures to ensure they can effectively address potential security breaches.
System Vulnerabilities
