The systems that run power grids, water plants, factories, and critical infrastructure face growing cyber threats — and securing these operational technology environments demands specialised skills. This program equips participants with advanced cybersecurity for industrial control systems and operational technology, covering the unique challenges and defences of protecting physical processes from cyberattack.
As attacks on critical infrastructure rise, ICS/OT security specialists are among the most needed and well-compensated professionals in cybersecurity. This course combines OT security fundamentals with practical defence and introduces emerging trends in critical infrastructure protection. All content is taught strictly for defensive and protective purposes.
