OT/ICS Cyber Security Training

Industrial environments are built for reliability and safety, and they are increasingly connected to corporate IT and the cloud. This OT security training introduces OT and ICS cyber security to engineering, operations and security teams, with a focus on how to understand and reduce risk without disrupting production.

Who should attend

  • OT, automation and control systems engineers
  • Plant and operations managers
  • IT and security teams responsible for industrial environments
  • Security professionals moving into OT security
  • Risk and compliance teams in industrial organizations
  • Operations staff who need general awareness can start with our Corporate Information Security training.

What you will learn

  • How OT and ICS differ from IT: priorities, constraints and lifecycles
  • Industrial architecture: PLCs, SCADA, HMIs and the Purdue Model
  • Common industrial protocols and their security considerations
  • IT/OT convergence and the risks it creates
  • Network segmentation: zones and conduits
  • Remote access and vendor access risks
  • Asset visibility and passive monitoring
  • Safe assessment principles: how to evaluate OT without affecting operations
  • Standards and guidance: IEC 62443 and NIST SP 800-82
  • Incident response considerations for industrial environments

Format and activities

Sessions combine concepts with architecture exercises and discussion based on realistic industrial scenarios.

What you receive

  • Course materials and reference guides
  • An OT security checklist
  • A certificate of attendance
