Who it is for

Automation, control, commissioning and service engineers; system integrators answering pre-qualification questionnaires; plant engineers managing vendors.

What you will be able to do

  • Draw a plant as zones and conduits, place any device on the Purdue model, and explain security levels.
  • Read the IEC 62443 family and know which part applies to you as a service provider (2-4).
  • Run a one-workshop, path-based risk assessment a customer will pay for.
  • Design and audit remote access: requested, approved, brokered, authenticated, logged, time-boxed.
  • Apply media, workstation, patching and backup discipline; segment and harden switches and controllers.
  • Handle credentials and handover; act correctly in the first hour of an incident; pass a customer audit.
  • Read any controller’s security datasheet (Schneider M580, Rockwell ControlLogix, Siemens S7-1500) and map certificates, roles, 802.1X and encrypted protocols back to the standard.
  • Secure the supervisory layer (AVEVA System Platform, FactoryTalk View, WinCC): directory-tied security modes, secured and verified writes, encrypted platform traffic, galaxy backup and version control.
  • Govern edge gateways, wireless, vendor skids and cloud services as outbound-only conduits, with CERT-In and DPDP obligations for plants in India.

  7. Segmentation and hardening in practice
  8. Identity, accounts and project credentials
  9. Detection, response and recovery
  10. The contractor’s cyber obligations
  11. Securing a real controller: M580, ControlLogix, S7-1500
  12. Securing the supervisory layer: AVEVA System Platform
  13. Edge, IIoT and the cloud

How it works

Narrated video with animated cutaways and a downloadable transcript for every unit. 70% on each unit quiz unlocks the next; 75% on the final earns the OT Security Passport, verifiable by QR code. Aligned to IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82 and NIST CSF 2.0; the course teaches the principles in our own words and does not certify you against IEC 62443.
