INDUSTRIAL CYBERSECURITY
OT/ICS/SCADA PENETRATION TESTING
Penetration testing for Operational Technology (OT), Industrial Control Systems (ICS), and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) is critical to ensure the safety and security of the devices and systems that control, manage, monitor, or otherwise influence operational processes and activities. Utilizing a blend of sophisticated attack simulations, both external and internal, these tests help identify vulnerabilities and prioritize remediation efforts to mitigate risks.

What is OT/ICS/SCADA Penetration Testing?
OT/ICS/SCADA are at risk in the modern threat environment. At Secragon, we specialize in OT/ICS/SCADA penetration testing that is 95% manual and conducted by experienced ethical hackers, ensuring no impact on the environment. Along with leveraging industry standard methodologies, our expert team utilizes an advanced mix of public and in-house developed exploits and in-depth analysis to discover vulnerabilities not yet published and often not yet discovered. The objective is to penetrate and evaluate the security of targeted industrial networks, providing actionable and tailored recommendations to secure your installations from cyberattacks.
Prevent downtime or operational disruptions that could result from security breaches or system failures.
To identify and strengthen weak points that could be exploited for ransomware attacks, which are increasingly targeting industrial systems.
To reduce the threat surface against sophisticated cyber-attacks and protect essential operational processes.
Ensure that security practices are consistent across different systems and that legacy vulnerabilities are not overlooked.
Many industries are governed by regulatory standards that mandate regular penetration testing to ensure the protection of sensitive information.
Use insights from the pentest to allocate resources strategically, focusing on your vulnerable areas.
Why Conduct an OT/ICS/SCADA Penetration Test?
Executing an OT/ICS/SCADA penetration test provides invaluable insights into the potential cyber threats that could disrupt your automation. Here is what your organization will gain after conducting a project with our team:
PROTECT AGAINST THE LATEST THREATS
When Should You Perform an OT/ICS/SCADA Penetration Test?
OT/ICS/SCADA Penetration Testing should be performed as frequently as required by the organizational security policy, with a general recommendation to conduct testing at least once per year. In addition to the regular schedule, penetration testing is particularly advisable in the following circumstances:
System Updates
After significant upgrades or changes to the OT/ICS/SCADA systems to ensure new vulnerabilities are not introduced.
New Deployment
Prior to the deployment of new OT or components within the ICS/SCADA network to validate security measures.
Regulatory Compliance
To comply with industry regulations and standards that require periodic security assessments of critical infrastructure systems.
Incident Response
Following the detection of security incidents or anomalies within the OT/ICS/SCADA environment to identify vulnerabilities.
Routine Security Check
Scheduled regularly as part of a comprehensive cybersecurity program to detect and mitigate evolving threats against critical systems.
Physical or Network Changes
After significant physical modifications to the environment or changes in network configuration that could impact the security.

What Will be Assessed During an OT/ICS/SCADA Penetration Test?
ICS/SCADA tests require more planning and a more tailored approach than other types of security testing.
Network Security
Analyzing firewalls, routers, and switches to prevent unauthorized access.
System Vulnerabilities
Identifying and cataloging vulnerabilities in both software and hardware components of OT/ICS/SCADA systems.
Physical Security
Inspecting the effectiveness of physical barriers and controls within OT/ICS/SCADA environments.
Communication Protocols
Testing and verifying the security of communication protocols utilized in the
OT/ICS/SCADA network.
Access Control
Assessing user privileges and access controls to ensure system integrity and
authorized access.
And More
Ensuring data integrity and availability,
evaluating incident response plans, checking compliance with industry regulations, testing malware and ransomware defenses, and assessing the robustness of backup and recovery procedures.

The purpose is to identify vulnerabilities and security risks in the systems, which are critical for monitoring and controlling industrial processes and infrastructure. It ultimately provides remediation measures and improvements to mitigate any potential cyber threats.
A test can typically be scheduled within 5-10 days following a scoping call. If you need an urgent one, reach out to us immediately—we’re ready to assist. Connect with us now to secure your spot!
To get started, you need to provide information about your SCADA environment, network topology, and access to the systems for testing. Additionally, a clear scope and objectives for the test should be defined.
Certainly, it’s essential to provide the testing team with the required access and permissions to conduct thorough remote tests and evaluations of your SCADA systems. Our specialists will propose a range of secure and effective remote access options for your SCADA infrastructure. We will outline all necessary access protocols and documentation processes during a call with your team.
Penetration testing for SCADA systems is an essential component of a robust cybersecurity framework, especially for businesses that depend on these automated systems for operational continuity. It hones in on the unique threats and weaknesses inherent to SCADA systems, which typically go unaddressed in conventional security evaluations.
Client data protection is our priority. We use non-destructive methods during our assessments and maintain strict confidentiality.
