Industrial Control System Cybersecurity

The systems that run a plant were built for reliability, not for a hostile network, and connecting them without care invites trouble. This course covers the threats to industrial control and operational technology systems and the practical defences that reduce the risk without stopping production. Delegates leave able to assess and harden a control environment.
