Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence. Portions of lesson drafting, visuals, and narration used AI tools; all content was reviewed, tested where applicable, and approved by the instructor.

This masterclass equips professionals in utilities, power, oil and gas, manufacturing, transportation, and smart city sectors with the deep technical and governance skills needed to secureOperational Technology (OT)environments. It bridges the gap betweenIT securityandindustrial control systems (ICS), explaining how to protect critical assets using standards such asIEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82, and ISO/IEC 27019.The course provides both strategic and technical guidance — from understanding control system components and threat vectors to implementing network segmentation, anomaly detection, and resilience engineering — all while maintaining compliance with emerging regulations likeNIS2andDORA.

Safeguarding our world’s critical infrastructure has never been more urgent. As industrial cyber threats grow in complexity and frequency, organizations operating power grids, water utilities, manufacturing plants, oil & gas pipelines, transportation systems, and smart cities face unprecedented risks.

The OT & Industrial Cybersecurity Masterclass: Securing Critical Infrastructure is your gateway to mastering the art and science of protecting Operational Technology (OT) environments. Designed for professionals who demand both technical depth and strategic insight, this course bridges the crucial gap between IT cybersecurity and the unique challenges of industrial control systems (ICS).

Guided by industry-leading standards—IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82, ISO/IEC 27019—and current regulatory mandates like NIS2 and DORA, you will learn how to identify vulnerabilities, deploy robust defenses, and ensure resilience in the face of evolving threats. Through hands-on lessons, real-world case studies, and actionable frameworks, you’ll gain the confidence and expertise to lead OT cybersecurity initiatives that truly make a difference.
