Malleum’s approach to conducting SCADA Security Assessments involves a detailed, structured methodology designed to thoroughly evaluate the security of your SCADA systems:
-
System and Network Mapping
We begin by mapping out the entire SCADA network, including all devices, controllers, and software. This mapping helps us understand the architecture and pinpoint critical components that need focused assessment.
-
Vulnerability Identification and Analysis
Using a combination of automated tools and manual inspection, we identify vulnerabilities in the SCADA system, from outdated firmware to insecure network connections. This step includes checking for known vulnerabilities and potential pathways for cyber attackers.
-
Security Controls Assessment
We evaluate existing security controls and practices, assessing their effectiveness in protecting SCADA systems. This includes reviewing firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and access control mechanisms to ensure they are properly configured and functioning.
-
Risk Assessment and Prioritization
Based on the vulnerabilities and security controls assessment, we conduct a risk assessment to prioritize issues based on their potential impact on your operations. This helps focus remediation efforts on the most critical vulnerabilities.
-
Reporting and Recommendations
A comprehensive report is provided, detailing all identified vulnerabilities, assessed risks, and actionable recommendations for enhancing the security of your SCADA systems. This report serves as a roadmap for making targeted improvements.
-
Remediation Support and Follow-Up
We offer support in implementing the recommended security enhancements and conduct follow-up assessments to ensure that all vulnerabilities have been effectively addressed. This continuous support helps maintain a high level of security.
