SCADA/OT
Industrial communication networks facilitate the seamless and reliable transmission of data from the operation network (OT) to the Information network (IT) and up to the cloud. Phoenix Contact is a leading manufacturer of network security appliances for use in industrial environments.
The company’s strategic focus encompasses digitalization, security solutions for industrial networks and secure remote maintenance via the Internet specializing on Factory Automation, Infrastructure, Process and Energy markets.
This year, we will participate to the CTF competition, the Village, and the Conferences.
At the CTF, you will have the chance to capture 7 flags in a “King of the Hill” competition for a chance to win up to $4,000 in prizes! We have created a game that reflects the reality of a critical infrastructure control system.
At the Village, you will be able to learn more about our OT network management solutions, IIoT, industrial edge devices, critical industrial data acquisition systems, and our OT cybersecurity solution.
We will also be offering a conference on the various OT protocols used in the industrial sector. You will learn how to manage these protocols and how to better protect them.
Vendel offers protection services for cyberphysical systems, helping businesses and Canadian public organization secure their connected infrastructure. From risk assessments and intrusion testing to secure product development, our mission is simple: to secure the world around us.
Objectives
- Explore the field of cybersecurity for operational technologies (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS).
- Gain practical insight into real-world intrusion techniques and defense strategies.
Activities
- Covert Tracking Detection: Uncover and neutralize a hidden AirTag device.
- Radio Security in Action: Witness a live SDR (software-defined radio) demo - learn how attackers manipulate RF signals to control a security barrier and exploit wireless vulnerabilities.
- Industrial Control on Scale Models: Observe miniature ICS setups and understand how small compromises lead to large disruptions.
- Vehicle Cybersecurity: Dive into a CAN-bus lab to inspect message flows and identify common automotive attack vectors.
- Hydropower Plant Mockup: Interact with a simulated hydroelectric system featuring a multi-protocol gateway — see firsthand how cyberattacks translate into physical consequences.
- ICS Puzzle-in-a-Box: Take on a red-team challenge with low-cost ICS hardware modeled after Purdue levels L0–L2. Your mission: bypass defenses, manipulate logic, and get the coin from start to finish.
