Getting Started in Industrial (ICS/OT) Cyber Security (LIVE - May 2024)

Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT) run the world around us. Power plants, offshore oil rigs, trains and other transportation systems, manufacturing plants – these are just a few examples of the critical infrastructure that society depends on. Each ICS/OT environment is unique and has specialized security requirements.

Protecting critical infrastructure becomes more important each day as the frequency of cyber attacks and the number of attackers continues to grow. Nation state adversaries are no longer the only ones targeting these specialized environments. Today’s attackers include ransomware groups, hacktivists, cyber mercenaries, and more.

ICS/OT cyber security can seem complicated and even daunting at first, but it does not have to be. This course will help participants understand the fundamentals of how these environments operate and how to secure such specialized networks.

NOTE: The course is offered as "Pay What You Can" to cover associated costs.
