5 units

Please select a city/session before registration.

About this program

Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) platforms support vital infrastructure sectors such as energy, water, manufacturing, and transportation. These systems face growing cyber threats that can interrupt critical services and inflict severe damage.
This Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Cybersecurity Training Course equips participants with actionable frameworks and tools to protect operational technology (OT) systems. It addresses ICS vulnerabilities, SCADA system architectures, incident management, and adherence to international cybersecurity standards.
Participants will enhance their skills through practical labs, simulations, and case analyses to effectively reduce risks and defend essential infrastructure.
