OT environments can’t rely on IT security playbooks , one misstep risks production, safety, and compliance.

The situation this course is for

Industrial systems operate in isolation, with legacy protocols, uptime demands, and compliance pressure. Traditional IT security fails here. Gaps in OT visibility, pentesting readiness, and ICS segmentation leave organizations exposed to downtime, regulatory penalties, and silent breaches. NIS2 raises the stakes , reactive measures won’t suffice.

Who this is for

OT cybersecurity professional bridging IT/OT gaps, leading pentesting initiatives, and ensuring ICS resilience under NIS2 compliance

Who this is not for

This is not for general IT admins, entry-level analysts, or those seeking certification prep only. It’s for practitioners already in the OT space who need operational depth.

What you walk away with

  • Master OT-specific threat modeling and attack surface mapping
  • Conduct compliant, safe OT pentests without disrupting operations
  • Design ICS network segmentation that meets NIS2 requirements
  • Implement monitoring tailored to industrial protocols and legacy systems
  • Deliver audit-ready documentation for regulators and leadership
