Course Description

OT Security Essentials (OTSE-0301) teaches students how to defend ICS systems. Students learn to design secure ICS architectures, implement proper firewall placement, position IDS/IPS systems effectively, deploy secure remote access, and implement centralized log aggregation and network monitoring solutions. The course emphasizes practical, vendor-agnostic security techniques that can be immediately applied in production environments.ing to shift operations from a reactive to a proactive security posture. This will be a condensed 1-day version of the full course and Mike Holcomb and Jonathan Pollet to select the modules to include into this shorter version of the course.
Students who wish to purchase the full course once it is online, will be granted a $999 deduction off the final price.

Target Audience (Roles):

  • ICS/OT Security Engineer: The most direct match. They are responsible for the daily defense and architecture of control networks.
  • OT Network Architect: Since this course covers “designing secure ICS architectures,” these individuals need to understand segmentation and firewall placement deeply.
  • Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) Specialist: Common in energy and utilities, focused specifically on compliance and defense of critical assets.
  • Industrial Cybersecurity Consultant: External experts who help various clients design secure systems. They need vendor-agnostic skills to adapt to different client sites.
  • Network Security Engineer (Industrial Sector): An IT network engineer working in manufacturing or energy who needs to learn where to place firewalls and IDS/IPS in a plant environment without disrupting operations.
  • Systems Administrator (Plant/Site Level): The IT person physically located at the plant who ends up doing “everything,” including remote access and backups.\
  • SCADA Engineer / Systems Engineer: They build and maintain the control systems. Teaching them “secure-by-design” principles is high value.
  • Control Systems Engineer (CSE): responsible for the logic and function of the plant; they need to understand how security controls (like IPS) impact their processes.
  • Automation Engineer: Focused on PLCs and HMIs, they are increasingly required to understand how to implement secure remote access for maintenance.
  • System Integrator: The people hired to build the initial plant network. If they take this course, they can sell “secure” implementations to their customers.
