MSE Master of Science in Engineering

The Swiss engineering master's degree

Chaque module vaut 3 ECTS. Vous sélectionnez 10 modules/30 ECTS parmi les catégories suivantes:

  • 12-15 crédits ECTS en Modules technico-scientifiques (TSM)
    Les modules TSM vous transmettent une compétence technique spécifique à votre orientation et complètent les modules de spécialisation décentralisés.
  • 9-12 crédits ECTS en Bases théoriques élargies (FTP)
    Les modules FTP traitent de bases théoriques telles que les mathématiques élevées, la physique, la théorie de l’information, la chimie, etc., vous permettant d’étendre votre profondeur scientifique abstraite et de contribuer à créer le lien important entre l’abstraction et l’application dans le domaine de l’innovation.
  • 6-9 crédits ECTS en Modules contextuels (CM)
    Les modules CM vous transmettent des compétences supplémentaires dans des domaines tels que la gestion des technologies, la gestion d’entreprise, la communication, la gestion de projets, le droit des brevets et des contrats, etc.

Security of Industrial Operational Technology (TSM_SecIndOpT)

This module provides an understanding of the fundamental principles of the security of Operational Technology (OT) in an industrial context. The module will cover the standards, key concepts and methodologies involved in securing OT systems commonly used in industrial environments, such as factories, power plants, and other critical infrastructure.

The module will begin by

exploring particularities of OT systems and the unique security challenges associated with OT environments. Different aspects of OT systems and their implication for security are studied, such as network technology and network architecture. Challenges related to product lifecycle and key management as well as existing solutions to those problems are explored. A specific focus is put on the implementation of standard IEC 62443.

 

Compétences préalables

Students should have a basic understanding of computer networks and security concepts. It is recommended that students have completed introductory courses in computer networking and security before taking this module.

Pre-reading material required for specific labs may be provided.

Objectifs d'apprentissage

Upon completion of the module, students should be able to 

  • Understand the unique security challenges associated with OT environments
  • Comprehend the main cybersecurity standards related to OT environments
  • Identify and assess the risks and threats associated with OT systems
  • Understand which security measures are suitable to protect OT systems and how to respond to incidents

Contenu des modules

The module will address the following topics:

  • An introduction to the particularities of OT systems in comparison to IT systems and Sensor Technology
  • Securing OT-relevant aspects of SCADA, DCS & ICS
  • Communication technology relevant to OT environment as well as the implications of air-gapped and connected systems
  • Threat models for OT systems
  • Product lifecycle, in particular issues related to key generation and key management
  • Incident Response in an OT context
  • The application of Standard IEC 62443, in particular weakness analysis, post-incidence analysis and auditing

Méthodes d'enseignement et d'apprentissage

In addition to lectures, the module is completed by exercises on simulated OT environments corresponding to industry standards. The exercises will apply the content from the lectures to specific situations inspired by the challenges of real world environments.
