Paul Smith

Paul Smith has spent close to 20 years in the automation control space, tackling the "red herring" problems that are thrown his way. He has handled unique issues such as measurement imbalances resulting from flare sensor saturation, database migration mishaps, and many more. This ultimately led to the later part of his career, where he has been spending most of his time in the industrial cybersecurity space pioneering the use of new security technology in the energy, utility, and critical infrastructure sectors, and helping develop cybersecurity strategies through the use of red team/pentest engagements, cybersecurity risk assessments, and tabletop exercises for some of the world's largest government contractors, industrial organizations, and municipalities.

In this section, we are going to add the corporate side of an ICS lab by setting up a Windows 2019 domain controller running AD, Domain Name System (DNS), and a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. We will also connect a Windows 10 workstation to the domain. As a refresher, our lab should currently look something like the following figure:

Once you complete the setup of the domain controller and workstation, your network layout should appear similar to the following figure:
