Control Environment Laboratory Resource

Overview

CISA’s Control Environment Laboratory Resource (CELR) provides sector-specific critical infrastructure environments comprised of operational technology (OT) and traditional information technology (IT) systems for research, training, and testing. CELR excels in demonstrating kinetic cyber-attacks through Industrial Control System (ICS) elements such as supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), programable logic controllers (PLCs), OT/IT pivot points, and other key components. CISA’s CELR provides an excellent opportunity to enhance the way operational units in government and industry defend ICS networks.
