Industrial Cybersecurity for Operational Technology (OT)

Protecting Critical Industrial Infrastructure from Modern Cyber Threats

Training

Course Description

As industrial facilities continue to embrace digital transformation and integrate Operational Technology (OT) with Information Technology (IT), cybersecurity has become a critical business requirement. Increasing connectivity improves operational efficiency but also expands the attack surface, exposing industrial control systems to cyber threats that can disrupt production, compromise safety, and impact business continuity.

The instructor provides an explanation of how the cybersecurity system works.

This intensive 4-day Industrial Cybersecurity Training provides engineers, automation professionals, and cybersecurity practitioners with practical knowledge and hands-on experience in securing industrial control systems. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of OT cybersecurity principles, international standards including ISO 27001, ISA-95/99, and IEC 62443, secure network architecture, vulnerability assessment, cyberattack techniques, incident response, and Zero Trust security concepts.

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the fundamentals of Operational Technology (OT) cybersecurity and its relationship with IT.
  • Identify cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and attack vectors affecting industrial control systems.
  • Apply international cybersecurity standards including ISO 27001, ISA-95/99, and IEC 62443 within industrial environments.
  • Design secure OT network architectures and implement defense-in-depth strategies.
  • Perform basic vulnerability assessments and analyze industrial communication protocols.
  • Detect, investigate, and respond to cybersecurity incidents in SCADA and Industrial Control Systems.
  • Understand Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), VPN technologies, and secure remote access for industrial environments.
  • Develop practical cybersecurity policies and remediation strategies based on real-world industrial scenarios.
Participants are practicing detecting security gaps that have been breached using third-party applications.
