This presentation was given at BSides Las Vegas 2015. The modern times that we live in, the gentle shift that we are making towards the Internet of Things (IoT) is slowly but surely getting a grip on our day to day lives. The same goes for securing our Industrial Control Systems (ICS). We see that the demand for ICS security is raising and governmental regulations are being established and implement. However, this also means that the need for ICS security professionals is raising as well. More and more security professionals/firms are starting to perform security assessments such as penetration testing on an ICS level. Two years ago I got the question if I was up for the challenge, converting myself from a ‘normal’ security professional to a ICS specific security professional. The purpose of this talk would be to provide a starting point for security professionals that want to make the shift towards ICS Security, just like I did two years ago. While the term starting point might be a bit misleading, the goal would be to provide an ICS 001 talk instead in contrast to an ICS 101 talk.
