Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security Assessment Services
Historically, ICS and SCADA systems operated on exclusive control protocols, with specialized hardware and software, keeping them separate from IT networks. Previously, Operational Technology (OT) networks were isolated, with security focused on preventing physical incidents.
In recent years, IT and OT converged, leading to enhanced but vulnerable ICS environments. Given the significant risks they pose, including threats to human safety, the environment, and financial implications, it's crucial to maintain high security standards.
Wizlynx group offers a comprehensive yet non-intrusive review of your ICS/OT based on frameworks like NIST Guide to Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security Rev 2. This will pinpoint vulnerabilities in your ICS, guiding you towards better cyber security.
Leave no stone unturned with wizlynx group's security assessments!
What are we testing for during a ICS Security Assessment?
Our security assessment for Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems is highly inspired from various best practice frameworks (CIS Critical Security Controls, NIST Guide to Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security Rev 2, ISO/IEC 27001/27003, etc.), tailored and adapted to the possibilities and capacities of any company to operate a secure OT environment. Our ICS security assessment will mainly focus on the following areas:
Tracking and management of all hardware devices connected to the network is implemented so that only authorized devices are given access, and unauthorized and unmanaged devices are discovered and stopped from accessing the network.
A comprehensive ICS vulnerability management strategy is documented and enforced and includes procedures to timely implement and process patches and updates on critical assets.
Ensuring the OT network is separated either logically or physically from the IT network and the OT network is segmented as per NIST SP 800-82 recommendations. Traffic between segments should only be allowed by following the principle of least privilege.
Use of a multilayered boundary defense relying on firewalls, proxies, web application firewalls, network-based IPS and IDS inspecting traffic both inbound and outbound and looking for attacks and evidence of compromised machines.
Security best practices for handling passwords and credentials are employed such as the usage of multi-factor authentication for remote access and critical accounts, enforcement of a strong password policy, absence of default and/or shared accounts, etc.
Usage of a secured/hardened configuration for different asset types deployed in the IT and OT network using a rigorous configuration management and change control process.
Collection, management, and analysis of audit logs of events that could help detect, understand, or recover from an attack.
Deployment of a solution which controls the installation, spread, and execution of malicious code at multiple points in the enterprise.

What Will You Get?
All findings of the ICS Security Assessment will be documented in a final report, and then compared with a strengths/weaknesses profile against international standards for IT & Cyber Security. The identified weaknesses will be assessed and supplemented with recommendations and remediation actions, as well as prioritized according to the risk associated. The final report will be discussed during a presentation with you. The report will include a comprehensive and meaningful C-level summary of the executed operational technology environment. Additionally, it will include all detailed results with respective evidence and recommendations for future security measures.
