Network resilience plans that fail under audit or incident pressure
The situation this course is for
Even well-architected networks crumble when continuity planning is ad-hoc or misaligned with ISO 22301 expectations. The gap isn't technical, it's procedural. Without a structured framework, OT network teams face repeated rework, audit findings, and loss of influence during incident response.
Who this is for
Senior network engineers in industrial or resource sectors who design and maintain critical OT networks and are stepping into resilience leadership
Who this is not for
Entry-level network admins, corporate IT generalists, or professionals outside OT environments
What you walk away with
- Confidently lead ISO 22301-aligned business continuity projects from scoping to sign-off
- Produce auditable continuity plans with embedded OT-specific failover workflows
- Identify and map critical network nodes using ISO 22301 impact assessment criteria
- Integrate continuity plans directly into network documentation and change control processes
- Communicate resilience posture clearly to compliance and safety stakeholders
