OT security initiatives often fail due to misalignment between technical controls and compliance expectations

The situation this course is for

Mid-market industrial organizations struggle to implement OT security that satisfies both engineers and auditors. Projects stall without clear frameworks, documentation trails, or repeatable processes. This leads to duplicated effort, failed audits, and operational friction.

Who this is for

Business and technology professionals in mid-market industrial operations responsible for OT security, compliance, risk management, or engineering leadership

Who this is not for

This course is not for executives seeking high-level overviews or vendors focused on product-specific implementations

What you walk away with

  • Apply a standardized framework to assess and improve OT security posture
  • Map technical controls to compliance requirements (e.g., NIST, ISA/IEC 62443, CISA guidelines)
  • Develop audit-ready documentation and evidence packages
  • Design secure network architectures for industrial environments
  • Lead cross-functional OT security initiatives with confidence
