Your First Step Into Industrial Cybersecurity.
In today’s hyperconnected world, the cybersecurity of industrial environments is no longer optional—it’s essential. From energy plants and water treatment facilities to manufacturing systems and smart factories, Operational Technology (OT) is at the heart of modern infrastructure. But how do we protect these systems from cyber threats that could disrupt entire cities or industries?
Are you curious about how cybersecurity works in industrial systems? Do you want to understand how power plants, factories, and critical infrastructure protect themselves from cyber threats?
Welcome to your first step into the fascinating world of OT (Operational Technology) Cybersecurity.
In this introductory course, you'll gain the essential knowledge to understand how industrial environments function, how they differ from traditional IT systems, and why securing them is more critical than ever. Through practical examples, real-world standards, and hands-on tools, you'll build a solid foundation in:
How OT networks, components, and protocols work
The key differences between IT and OT cybersecurity
Common vulnerabilities and attack surfaces in ICS (Industrial Control Systems)
Security models like Purdue, NIST 800-82, and IEC 62443
Tools and controls used to defend industrial environments
How to respond to incidents in OT systems effectively
Whether you're an engineer, a cybersecurity professional, or someone passionate about learning how digital security keeps the physical world running, this course is your gateway into a high-impact, high-demand field.
No advanced technical background required—just your curiosity and willingness to learn.
