Why Choose Industrial Cyber Security Training Course?

The Industrial Cyber Security Course is built for professionals who need more than awareness — they need the skills to assess, control, and respond to real cyber threats targeting industrial environments.

Cyber attacks on industrial systems are no longer theoretical. From control system breaches to operational technology vulnerabilities, the risks are direct and the consequences severe. This Industrial Cyber Security Training addresses those threats head-on, covering everything from risk assessment and international security standards to building a fully operational cyber response plan.

Participants move through a structured five-day journey — understanding the threat landscape, evaluating their organisation's security posture, managing Industrial Control Systems, implementing security controls, and developing a cyber response strategy that works in practice.

This course is grounded in real-world application, not just theory. It equips professionals with the frameworks, standards, and decision-making tools needed to reduce cyber risk and protect critical industrial operations

What are the Goals?

The Industrial Cyber Security Course is designed to build both the technical understanding and strategic thinking required to protect industrial environments from evolving cyber threats.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the fundamentals of cyber security as they apply to industrial and operational environments
  • Identify and assess cyber crime, attacks, and the methods used to investigate electronic crime
  • Conduct cyber security and risk assessments aligned with international standards including ISO 27799 and ISA99
  • Evaluate and improve an organisation's cyber security posture and capabilities
  • Manage the intersection of Information Security and Operational Technology (OT)
  • Apply security controls for detection, prevention, and offensive response in OT environments
  • Secure Operational Technology Environments (OTE) including user management, data confidentiality, and system integrity
  • Define a cyber response strategy and compile a structured cyber response plan
  • Build and manage a cyber response team with clear roles and vendor support structures
  • Embed cyber preparedness within corporate governance and operational security frameworks

Who is this Training Course for?

The Industrial Cyber Security Training is designed for professionals responsible for protecting industrial systems, operational technology, and critical infrastructure from cyber threats.

This course is suitable for:

  • IT and OT security professionals working in industrial or manufacturing environments
  • Control systems and automation engineers exposed to network and cyber security risks
  • Cyber security managers and analysts responsible for industrial infrastructure
  • Risk and compliance officers handling information security frameworks and standards
  • Operations managers overseeing systems with industrial control or SCADA components
  • Network and systems administrators managing operational technology environments
  • Corporate governance and business continuity professionals involved in cyber preparedness
  • Any professional responsible for building or managing a cyber response plan within their organisation

How will this Training Course be Presented?

The Industrial Cyber Security Course is delivered through a structured, practical learning approach that progresses from foundational concepts through to advanced response planning. Each day is designed to build on the previous, ensuring participants develop both knowledge and confidence across all areas of industrial cyber security.

The course balances technical depth with strategic application, making it relevant for both technical specialists and operations-focused professionals.

Delivery methods include:

  • Instructor-led sessions covering cyber security concepts, standards, and industrial control system frameworks
  • Risk assessment workshops applying ISO 27799 and ISA99 standards to real operational scenarios
  • Case study analysis examining cyber attacks and security failures in industrial environments
  • Hands-on exercises focused on assessing and securing Operational Technology Environments (OTE)
  • Group discussions exploring ethical hacking, civil and criminal considerations, and policing of electronic crime
  • Cyber response planning sessions where participants build and stress-test their own response strategies
  • Governance and compliance reviews linking cyber preparedness to corporate governance requirements
  • Practical workshops on Operational Security Centers and cyber response team structure

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our training courses

IT security focuses on protecting data, networks, and business systems. Industrial Cyber Security specifically addresses the protection of Operational Technology (OT) environments — including industrial control systems, SCADA, and automation infrastructure — where a breach can impact physical operations, safety, and critical infrastructure.  

OT security refers to the practices and controls that protect hardware and software managing physical industrial processes. Unlike IT systems, a compromised OT environment can cause equipment failure, production shutdowns, safety incidents, or environmental damage — making its protection business-critical.  

Ethical hacking involves authorised attempts to identify vulnerabilities in systems before malicious actors do. This course introduces ethical hacking concepts specifically in the context of industrial environments — helping professionals understand how attackers think and how to strengthen defences accordingly

Many industrial control systems were designed for reliability and longevity, not security. They often run legacy software, lack regular patching cycles, and are increasingly connected to corporate IT networks — creating exposure points that cyber attackers actively target.  

The course covers ISO 27799 for information security management and ISA99, the internationally recognised standard for automation and industrial cyber security. Participants learn how to assess their organisation against these frameworks and apply them practically.  

A robust cyber response plan should define the response strategy, outline the composition of the cyber response team, identify service vendor support structures, establish escalation procedures, and integrate with corporate governance. The course walks participants through building each of these components.
