Log aggregation, SIEM fundamentals, and anomaly detection across mixed OT/IT environments.
A control doesn't help if you can't tell whether it's working — this module covers the monitoring layer that ties the rest of the program together. It works through log aggregation and normalization, core SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) concepts, and why anomaly-based detection matters more in OT than signature-based detection, since OT traffic patterns are far more predictable and repetitive than general IT traffic, making deviations easier to flag reliably.
By the end of this module you should be able to explain the difference between a false positive and a false negative in a monitoring context, and why alert fatigue from a high false-positive rate quietly degrades an organization's real detection capability over time — the exact failure mode Module 10's incident response playbooks are written to catch before it becomes a missed real incident.
