ICS with Purdue Model Reference Architecture

The Purdue Model is a functional reference architecture (not a security framework) for industrial control systems that provides a structured approach to organizing operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) systems across distinct hierarchical levels.

What is this Platform

This application is designed to visualize an Inductrial Control System with Purdue Enterprises Reference Architecture functional Model.The platform can be used to learn ICS, the devices and their functinality, associted Cybersecurity Risk as Critical, High, Medium and Low alogwith MITRE ATT&CK TTPs and past incidents.
