What you'll learn
- Apply a structured red team methodology to ICS/OT environments from reconnaissance through impact
- Map adversary tactics to MITRE ATT&CK for ICS and plan engagements using real threat actor TTPs
- Identify and exploit attack surface across PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, historians and OT network architecture
- Execute initial access techniques including phishing, supply chain abuse and remote access exploitation
- Perform lateral movement from IT networks into OT environments across Purdue model levels
- Exploit industrial protocols including Modbus, DNP3, S7Comm and EtherNet/IP offensively
- Analyze real-world ICS attacks including Stuxnet, Industroyer, Triton and Oldsmar as red team lessons
- Produce professional OT red team reports communicating physical risk to technical and executive audiences

Description
Industrial control systems are among the most critical and most vulnerable targets in the world, especially in 2026 — yet offensive security training for ICS/OT environments remains rare, expensive, and largely inaccessible.
This course changes that.
ICS/OT Offensive Security: Red Team Methodology is a structured, practitioner-focused course that teaches you how to think, plan, and operate as a red teamer inside industrial environments. You will learn how attackers approach ICS/OT targets from initial reconnaissance all the way through to physical impact — and how to conduct engagements safely, professionally, and with the depth that critical infrastructure demands.
You will build a complete understanding of OT architecture, industrial protocols, and adversary tradecraft before moving into offensive techniques covering initial access, IT-to-OT pivoting, lateral movement across Purdue model levels, protocol exploitation, and device attacks against PLCs, RTUs, and HMIs.
Every major phase is grounded in real-world adversary behavior mapped to MITRE ATT&CK for ICS, and reinforced through four in-depth case studies covering Stuxnet, Industroyer, Triton, and the Oldsmar water treatment attack.
The course closes with a full red team reporting framework designed specifically for OT engagements, including how to communicate physical risk to both technical teams and executive stakeholders.
Whether you are a penetration tester expanding into ICS, an IT security professional transitioning into OT, or a consultant supporting critical infrastructure clients — this course gives you the methodology, the knowledge, and the professional foundation to operate in one of the most demanding and highest-impact specializations in cybersecurity.
Who this course is for:
- Penetration testers and ethical hackers who want to specialize in ICS/OT offensive security
- IT security professionals transitioning into operational technology and industrial cybersecurity roles
- Security consultants, red teamers and engineers supporting critical infrastructure protection programs
