358 students. 4.19/5.0 rating. 95% say "knowledgeable instructor." 92% say "valuable information." 88% say "clear explanations." Master industrial control system cybersecurity with comprehensive training in SCADA, PLC, DCS protection, IEC 62443 compliance, and defense-in-depth strategies for critical infrastructure.

Protect industrial control systems from cyber threats with complete training covering SCADA, PLC, DCS, Building Automation Systems, Safety Instrumented Systems, and IIoT security. Learn the Purdue Model, IEC 62443 foundational requirements, network segmentation, intrusion detection, and secure remote access.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

Industrial Control Systems Fundamentals - Master Distributed Control Systems (DCS), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), SCADA systems, Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS), Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) architecture and vulnerabilities.

Purdue Model & Defense-in-Depth - Understand the industry-standard Purdue Model for ICS network architecture, implement layered security strategies, and apply defense-in-depth principles to protect critical infrastructure from Level 0 (field devices) through Level 5 (enterprise network).

IEC 62443 Compliance Framework - Master all seven IEC 62443 foundational requirements: identification and authentication, use control and audit records, system integrity, data confidentiality, restricted data flow, timely response to events, and resource availability with redundancy and backup.

Network Security Controls - Implement asset management, network segmentation and zoning, network discovery protocols, intrusion detection systems (IDS), secure remote access (VPN, jump servers), SIEM solutions for log aggregation, and endpoint protection for industrial devices.

Cyber Threat Protection - Understand OT vs IT network differences, analyze real-world cyber attacks on industrial systems, identify attack vectors, and implement countermeasures to protect SCADA, PLC, and DCS systems from ransomware, malware, and targeted attacks.
