Securing Industrial IoT Networks with Cisco Technologies v1.0

Securing Industrial IoT Networks with Cisco Technologies (ISECIN) v1.0 self-paced course provides an overview of the IoT enabled industrial verticals (manufacturing, energy, O&G, utilities, process control), architectures, and IIoT security requirements, frameworks, and regulations. Security protocols, vulnerabilities, and the process of securing against the vulnerabilities are examined in depth and practiced in the hands-on lab environment. We suggest students who wish to take this course are well-versed in IP Networking Basics, OT Networking Basics, and Network Security Basics, with an IINS or CCNA Security equivalent.

Objectives Include:

• Understand the convergent enterprise and industrial IoT architecture, components and applications
• Contrast enterprise IT vs. industrial OT security
• Define layered security requirements from the network edge to the core, and from access to applications layer
• Protect endpoints, communications as well as data at rest and in motion
• Compliance to standards and regulations and auditing
• Understand protocols, applications and IPv6 for IIoT
• Identify vulnerabilities and threat
• Familiarize with common implementation issues
• Assess, monitor and detect vulnerabilities
• Walk through IIoT attacks
• Adopt best practices in design principles and process for securing and segmenting IIoT networks
• Application of the converged security model for the broader industry: manufacturing, utilities, transportation, O&G
• Secure and monitor/detect the IIoT framework with next generation security products and tools

This new Cisco self-paced course is designed to be as effective as classroom training. Course content is presented in easily-consumable segments via both Instructor Video and text. Interactivity is enabled through Discovery Labs, content review questions, and graded Challenge labs and tests. This makes the learning experience hands-on, increasing course effectiveness, and provides students direct feedback on how well they have mastered the material. And gamification features are built in, including earning badges and a leaderboard, to encourage better performance.
