Cybersecurity for Industrial Control Systems
A practical course on protecting industrial control systems for instrument and control engineers, automation engineers, OT and IT staff, and operations and HSE managers in oil and gas, utilities and process plants. It covers how OT security differs from IT security, the Purdue model and IEC 62443 zones, conduits and security levels, consequence-based risk assessment, defence-in-depth controls, protecting the safety instrumented system, and incident response. It ends with governance and a roadmap for building an OT security programme.
