Operational Technology (OT) Cybersecurity Defense
About This Course
The Operational Technology (OT) Cybersecurity Defense course is designed for technical professionals who need to deepen their expertise in securing OT systems. With a focus on attack methodologies, risk analysis, and security protocols, the course equips participants with the knowledge and tools required to address increasingly complex threats targeting OT environments.
Using the Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge (MITRE ATT&CK) framework for Industrial Control Systems (ICS), participants will examine modern attack techniques and adversary methodologies used against OT systems. This enables them to better identify vulnerabilities, understand attacker behaviour, and respond proactively to potential threats.
The course also covers risk analysis, OT security architecture, and cybersecurity lifecycle management, providing a structured and comprehensive approach to protecting OT environments.
Through technical discussions and practical scenarios, participants will strengthen their ability to defend OT systems and apply advanced cybersecurity strategies to manage evolving threats.
