Hardware-In-The-Loop Labs for SCADA Cybersecurity Awareness and Training

In this paper, we present a SCADA cybersecurity awareness and training program based on a Hands-On training using two twin cyber-ranges named WonderICS and G-ICS. These labs are built using a Hardware-In-the-Loop simulation system of the physical process developed by the two partners. The cyber-ranges allow replication of realistic Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attacks and demonstration of known vulnerabilities, as they rely on real industrial control devices and softwares. In this work, we present both the demonstration scenarios used for awareness on WonderICS and the training programs developed for graduate students on G-ICS.
