When Cyberattacks Have Physical Consequences
In the world of Cyber Warfare, the targets are no longer just credit card numbers—they are power grids, water treatment plants, and hospitals. These systems run on SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) and ICS (Industrial Control Systems), many of which were never designed to be connected to the internet.
Unique Vulnerabilities of ICS
- Legacy Systems: Many industrial controllers are 20+ years old and cannot run modern security software.
- Uptime Priority: Unlike an office PC, you cannot simply "restart" a nuclear reactor to apply a security patch.
- Protocols: Industrial protocols like Modbus and DNP3 often lack basic encryption.
The Role of a Cyber Warrior
At Kian Technologies, we emphasize that protecting critical infrastructure is a matter of national security. We train our advanced students in specialized defense tactics for OT (Operational Technology) environments, ensuring they can defend the nation's vital services from Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs).
Become a Malware Analysis Expert As hackers switch to modern languages like Golang to build evasive tools, the industry needs experts who can deconstruct and stop these threats.
