Discover the Fundamentals of Operational Technology (OT) Cybersecurity

In the current era where digital advancements rapidly alter the security landscape, safeguarding Operational Technology (OT) systems is very important. Our OT cyber security awareness training course, is meant to equip professionals with the essential knowledge needed to defend OT infrastructures, against advanced cyber threats.

This self-guided OT security awareness e-training course combines interactive text, video content, animations, and assessments to guide learners through the vital principles of OT cybersecurity.

Why is OT Cybersecurity Awareness important?

OT Cybersecurity Awareness Course Structure

Our curriculum spans seven detailed modules, each dedicated to a key component of OT cybersecurity. This course  is designed to cater to people wishing to understand OT cyberseecurity at a basic level, offering insights and actionable tactics for all. This course can be used to enhance knowledge of Plant Engineers, Plant Managers and IT professionals, including IT Security Professionals and System Administrators in the principles of OT cybersecurity. This can be used as an ICS security awareness course for Instrumentation and Control System engineers.

  1. Fundamentals of OT Systems and Cybersecurity

    Key Learnings: Grasp the basic principles of Operational Technology (OT) and the critical role of cybersecurity within these frameworks. Understand the overlap between IT and OT and the significance of securing OT systems for the safety of our infrastructure. This module introduces the essentials of cybersecurity.

  2. Understand how OT Systems work

    Key Learnings: Explore the various OT systems, their applications, and what sets them apart from conventional IT systems. This module prepares learners for the complex task of protecting these crucial systems, covering the evolution from mechanical and analog systems to modern programmable controls. Gain insights into DCS, PLC, and SCADA systems fundamentals.

  3. Historical OT Cyberattack Analysis

    Key Learnings: Analyze past OT cyberattacks for a clearer understanding of the tactics employed by attackers as well as the consequences of such attacks. This historical perspective is crucial for predicting and preventing future threats and understanding the potential outcomes of an OT system breach.

  4. Challenges in OT Cybersecurity

    Key Learnings: Understand the unique challenges of securing OT systems, including issues with legacy systems, patching , the inadequacy of standard IT cybersecurity tools, IT and OT convergence, and the real-world impacts of cyber threats.

  5.  OT Cybersecurity Standards
