The integration of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) has a significant impact on industrial cybersecurity. Specifically, industrial control systems (ICS) and supervisory
control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems that have historically been air gapped are now being connected to IT systems — and therefore to the internet.
As the air gap is removed, these systems are exposed to an increasingly advanced threat landscape and are targets for hackers involved in terrorism, cyber warfare, and espionage. This
course will ensure that candidates understand the implications of OT security and give practical solutions to progressing and securing a business’s Cyber Security footprint.
