Industrial network simulator [ICS]

Question

Microcontrollers

There was a desire to study security issues in industrial networks, but the question arose about the possibility of testing invented solutions. Found only simulators of individual controllers. Are there any simulators of the entire infrastructure of an industrial enterprise that could be scanned by well-known ICS vulnerability scanners and, accordingly, implement any “own” solutions?

Answer 1

1. Who will make and lay out the whole infrastructure of the process control system for you? this is the NDA usually.
2. What do the process control systems of a nuclear power plant, a regional thermal power plant and a conveyor line for assembling cars have in common?

Answer 2

Too wide a class of systems falls under the APCS ...
Most likely, no one will allow you to scan a “live” APCS (in a number of industries there are direct prohibitions in the requirements for APCS on the use of scanners, since they can affect the operation of the system) scanning is usually done at the stand, redundant (backup) system or during a technological shutdown of equipment (if provided).
