Certified SCADA Cyberspace Operations Engineer
Course number: CGISCADA40
Learn how to execute cyber missions in which a SCADA environment is part of the greater cyberspace operational environment.
This course provides you with a thorough understanding of Industrial Control System (ICS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) devices and their inner workings. You will learn how to execute cyber missions in which a SCADA environment is part of the greater cyberspace operational environment. By performing incident response on SCADA devices, you will learn in-depth concepts about SCADA devices.
