WHAT YOUR 2-DAYS OT SECURITY TRAINING PROGRAM LOOKS LIKE

PROGRAM PHASE 1: OT CYBERSECURITY FUNDAMENTALS SPECIALIST TRAINING
  1. Introduction to OT Cybersecurity: Understand the unique nature of OT security and how it differs from IT. Learn the basics—SCADA, PLCs, segmentation, air gapping—and why this is critical to your operations.
  2. Understanding Industrial Control Systems (ICS): Explore the architecture of industrial environments. Learn about SCADA, DCS, PLC, and HMI—and how protocols like Modbus and DNP3 shape your cybersecurity needs.
  3. Core OT Security Principles: In OT, safety and uptime come first. Learn how to design security strategies around availability, integrity, and segmented zones.
  4. OT Cybersecurity Standards & Compliance: Get familiar with IEC 62443, NIST CSF, and other key frameworks. Learn how to align governance and security to meet industry regulations.
  5. OT Asset Management: Visibility is the first line of defense. Discover how to inventory, monitor, and protect your critical OT infrastructure.
  6. ICS Criticality Classification: Not all assets are equal. Learn to prioritize based on operational impact and build mitigation strategies for high-risk systems.
  7. OT Security in Automation Projects: Integrate security throughout every automation project phase. Learn best practices from FDS to SDS, vendor access to validation.
  8. Spare Parts Management: Poorly managed spares can introduce major risks. Learn how to handle updates, testing, and avoid counterfeit or outdated components.
  9. Supplier & Third-Party Management: Vendors often access your OT systems—make sure it’s secure. Define cybersecurity requirements, perform audits, and control remote access.
  10. Securing Backups & Configurations: No backup, no recovery. Learn to safeguard ICS configurations, test recovery procedures, and prevent unauthorized access.
  11. Managing Obsolete DCS Systems: Old systems = weak links. Identify obsolescence, isolate vulnerabilities, and plan secure transitions or upgrades.

PROGRAM PHASE 2: OT CYBERSECURITY DESIGN & IMPLEMENTATION SPECIALIST TRAINING
  1. Designing Secure OT Network Architectures: A well-structured OT network provides the foundation for secure and efficient operations through smart segmentation and layered defense.
  2. Securing OT Communication Protocols: Securing vulnerable protocols like Modbus and DNP3 is critical to ensure data integrity and operational reliability.
  3. Integrating OT Security into IT/OT Convergence: As IT and OT merge, secure integration is essential to minimize risks and enhance collaboration.
  4. Hardening OT Systems and Devices: Hardening devices reduces vulnerabilities and protects industrial environments from cyber threats.
  5. Network Segmentation and Isolation: Segmenting and isolating networks helps prevent attackers from moving laterally within OT systems.
  6. Security Management: Centralized security management ensures consistent policy enforcement and rapid threat response.
  7. Physical Security of OT Environments: Controlling physical access protects critical OT systems from tampering, theft, or sabotage.
  8. Network Security: A secured OT network protects communication paths from external threats and unauthorized access.
  9. Hardware Security: Protecting OT hardware prevents tampering and maintains trust in physical devices and components.
  10. Software Security: Securing OT software helps prevent disruptions and cyberattacks by eliminating system vulnerabilities.
