4-Day Instructor-Led Programme
A four-day hands-on practitioner programme for OT security engineers covering full IEC 62443 assessment methodology, passive network monitoring, ICS malware analysis, and vendor access management. Develop the specialist skills to assess complex OT environments, respond to ICS incidents without disrupting operations, and apply SANS five critical controls for industrial systems.

Operational technology environments present security challenges that IT security methodologies cannot solve without modification. Legacy protocols, air-gap assumptions that no longer hold, operational lifespans measured in decades, and the absolute requirement to prioritise availability and safety over confidentiality create an attack surface that is simultaneously critical and fragile. This four-day programme develops the specialist skills to protect complex OT environments against the advanced persistent threats targeting industrial systems in 2026.
Across four mentor-led days, participants conduct OT security assessments using IEC 62443, design network segmentation for complex industrial environments using zone-and-conduit methodology, monitor OT networks passively without disrupting operations, analyse ICS-specific malware including TRITON/TRISIS, FrostyGoop, and VoltRuptor, manage vendor remote access risk, and plan OT-specific incident response without causing physical damage or service disruption.
The programme culminates in a full OT security assessment capstone of a simulated industrial environment, producing an asset inventory, risk rating, zone design, vendor access review, and prioritised remediation roadmap. This course is aligned with IEC 62443, SANS five critical controls for ICS, NCSC OT security guidance, and NIS2 essential entity obligations for industrial operators.
Passive OT asset discovery lab, Dragos and Claroty monitoring deployment exercises, ICS malware indicator analysis, zone-and-conduit design workshop, and a full simulated OT environment capstone assessment.
Practitioner-led analysis of TRITON/TRISIS, FrostyGoop, and VoltRuptor with live commentary on current OT targeting doctrine, IEC 62443 implementation in real environments, and vendor access security design.
OT security assessment using IEC 62443, passive OT monitoring, ICS malware analysis, zone-and-conduit network design, vendor access security, and OT business continuity planning.
