OT- Cyber Security Course

Overview

Our OT Cyber Security Course Training is designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to protect operational technology (OT) systems from cyber threats. With the growing convergence of IT and OT, industrial systems are increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks, making robust security measures essential. This course provides a deep understanding of OT security frameworks, threat landscapes, risk assessment techniques, and best practices for safeguarding critical infrastructure. Participants will learn about real-world cyber threats and how to implement effective security strategies to mitigate risks in industrial environments.

This training is ideal for cybersecurity professionals, IT administrators, engineers, and anyone responsible for securing OT environments. Through hands-on learning and case studies, participants will gain practical insights into securing industrial control systems (ICS), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, and other OT assets. By the end of the course, attendees will be well-prepared to implement security policies, conduct risk assessments, and respond to cyber incidents in OT networks, ensuring the resilience and safety of critical industrial operations.
