Empowering Tomorrow's Defenders: Enhancing OT Security through Specialized Training

In today's interconnected world, securing industrial control systems (ICS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems is paramount to safeguarding critical infrastructure. As a provider of OT Security Training we understand the sophisticated cyber threats targeting operational technology (OT) environments. Our comprehensive training program equips participants with essential skills and knowledge to assess, protect, and defend ICS and SCADA systems effectively. Through hands-on exercises, real-world scenarios, and expert instruction, participants will gain insights into the latest attack vectors, vulnerabilities, and best practices for securing industrial networks. The course content is also in line with ICS410 certification (GISCP). By investing in training, your organization will not only enhance its cybersecurity posture but also mitigate risks.

After completing Innovield OT security training program, trainee would learn the following :-

• Develop an understanding of industrial control system components, purposes, deployments, significant drivers, and constraints.

• Hands-on lab learning experience to control system attack surfaces, methods, and tools (refer to Fig 1.1 Practical Training)

• Control system approaches to system and network defense architectures and techniques

• Incident-response skills in a control system environment

• Governance models and resources for industrial cybersecurity professionals.

How Is Our Training Program suitable for the industry ?

Our course authors have meticulously examined the fundamental security principles essential for the various tasks involved in maintaining control systems and analyzing risks on a daily basis. While there are other courses tailored for advanced security practitioners suitable to hone specific skills like industrial control system penetration testing, vulnerability analysis, malware analysis, forensics, secure coding, and red team training, most of these courses overlook the individuals responsible for operating, managing, designing, implementing, monitoring, and integrating critical infrastructure production control systems.

On the basis of our team's vast experience in the field, we have concluded that given the dynamic nature of industrial control systems, many engineers lack a comprehensive understanding of the functionalities and risks associated with various devices. The IT support teams, responsible for communication pathways and network defenses, often lack insight into the operational drivers and constraints of these systems. Our course is meticulously crafted to bridge this gap by providing traditional IT personnel, a deep understanding of the foundational design principles underpinning control systems and making them ready to support complex systems and ensure high availability and integrity.

The course addresses the imperative for control system engineers and operators to grasp the critical role they play in cybersecurity. This begins with ensuring that control systems are designed and engineered with cybersecurity ingrained into their framework, with cybersecurity receiving the same level of emphasis as system reliability throughout the system lifecycle. Hands on training on custom made use cases, gives a great insight into understanding how existing systems can be made safe. Refer to diagram below.

Upon completion of this course, professionals from diverse backgrounds would have cultivated an appreciation, comprehension, and shared language necessary for collaborating to secure their industrial control system environments. The course facilitates the development of cybersecurity-aware engineering practices and real-time control system IT/OT support, administered by professionals who grasp the tangible effects of actions within the cyber realm.
