What is the Practical OT Security for Industrial course about?
Traditional OT security models were built for isolation, not integration. In innovation-first cultures, where agility and connectivity drive value, legacy approaches slow deployments, complicate compliance, and fail to align with engineering velocity. Professionals are left choosing between progress and protection, often compromising both.
