Detection efforts remain reactive, fragmented, or too slow to keep pace with OT environment complexity

The situation this course is for

Even in mature organizations, OT detection is often built on ad-hoc rules, isolated tools, or legacy processes that fail to scale. This leads to delayed responses, compliance gaps, and growing pressure from leadership to demonstrate control without slowing operations.

Who this is for

Business and technology professionals in established enterprises responsible for OT security, risk, compliance, engineering, or operations who need to implement or improve detection programs

Who this is not for

This course is not for individuals seeking introductory IT security content, consumer-grade tools, or theoretical frameworks without implementation pathways

What you walk away with

  • Design a scalable OT detection architecture aligned with enterprise risk posture
  • Implement detection rules that balance sensitivity, specificity, and operational impact
  • Integrate OT telemetry into existing SOC workflows without disrupting production systems
  • Apply compliance standards (e.g., NIST, ISA/IEC 62443) to detection program design
  • Deploy a living detection playbook that evolves with asset and threat changes
