Learn to secure both enterprise IT and industrial OT/ICS systems — network segmentation, the Purdue model, risk assessment, identity and access management, cryptography, IEC 62443, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, vulnerability management, incident response, and NERC CIP compliance.
18 modules and 3 complete real-project case studies, with worked scenarios, field documentation, and a certificate of completion.
CIA triad, threat landscape, IT vs. OT security, and the scope of this program.
Firewalls, VLANs, DMZs, and network segmentation basics.
The 5-level Purdue model, zones and conduits, and industrial DMZs.
Asset inventory, risk registers, and threat modeling for critical systems.
Authentication, authorization, least privilege, and role-based access control.
Symmetric/asymmetric encryption, hashing, PKI, and TLS basics.
The IEC 62443 series structure, security levels, and zones/conduits model.
Scanning, patch management, and vulnerability lifecycle for OT constraints.
Secure remote access to OT, cloud connectivity risks, and VPN/jump-host patterns.
Log aggregation, SIEM basics, and anomaly detection for OT/IT environments.
The 6 CSF functions (Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover).
IR lifecycle, playbooks, and OT-specific incident response challenges.
NERC CIP standards overview for bulk electric system cybersecurity.
Segmenting a manufacturing plant per the Purdue model and IEC 62443 zones.
Hardening a municipal water utility SCADA system against common attack vectors.
Building a full incident response plan for a mid-size enterprise.
A kit of real project templates — an asset inventory and risk register worksheet, a network segmentation and zones/conduits diagram checklist, an incident response plan and playbook template, a vulnerability management tracking sheet, an access control and least-privilege review worksheet, and a NIST CSF self-assessment checklist. Available for download from Module 15 (Documentation & Resource Kit) once you've unlocked the program.
Coming later: sample network diagrams and video demonstrations. Not included in this release.
