Mastering Operational Technology Cybersecurity Governance
3-Day Executive & Technical Training | April 27-29
Early Bird rate available through March 15th
Operational Technology systems power critical infrastructure across municipalities, utilities, transportation, and state agencies. As OT environments become increasingly interconnected with IT networks, the need for skilled leaders who can govern and protect these systems has never been greater.
This comprehensive 3-day course provides the strategic clarity and technical arsenal required to secure critical infrastructure. Designed for both technical engineers and executive leadership, the program bridges the gap between policy and practice in Operational Technology (OT) environments.
Key Learning Outcomes for Participants:
- Real-World Defense: Gain direct insights from an incident response case study involving a nation-state attack to understand real-world recovery strategies.
- Regulatory Mastery: Establish foundational frameworks and navigate the legal and regulatory requirements unique to OT, including NERC-CIP, IEC 62443, and the NIST CSF.
- Organizational Alignment: Learn to facilitate critical communication between IT and OT teams to ensure unified security implementation.
- Strategic Policy Development: Build OT-specific policies, procedures, and risk management strategies across the entire asset lifecycle.
- Zero-Barriers Entry: Master governance and regulatory alignment without requiring prior OT security experience.
Who Should Attend:
This program is designed for professionals responsible for securing, managing, and governing OT environments, including:
- CISOs & Deputy CISOs
- IT Directors
- OT Security Leaders
- ICS / SCADA Engineers
- Plant & Facility Managers
- Engineering Directors
- IT & OT Security Architects
- Risk, Compliance & Governance Leaders
Industries:
Utilities • Manufacturing • Energy & Renewables • Transportation • Healthcare Infrastructure • Government & Municipal Operations
Cyber threats targeting critical infrastructure continue to rise, making this program an important opportunity to gain the knowledge, skills, and practical tools needed to lead in OT security governance. No prior knowledge in OT is required to attend.
