Contact UsIndustrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT) are increasingly targeted by cyber threats, putting businesses, governments, and national infrastructure at risk. Specialized ICS/OT security training is vital to securing operations across all industries and defending the systems that make, move, and power the world.
Unlike traditional IT environments, ICS/OT systems face unique risks that demand both cybersecurity expertise and operational awareness. SANS ICS security training prepares defenders for the evolving threats targeting essential industries worldwide. From foundational to advanced—SANS ICS training, led by expert instructors with real-world labs using cyber physical systems, provides the knowledge and hands-on skills to defend the critical infrastructure and industrial operations that drive economies.
Understand the unique attack surfaces of ICS/OT environments and apply defense-in-depth strategies to mitigate real-world threats.
Learn how to design, assess, and strengthen industrial systems while aligning with industry frameworks and regulatory requirements.
Develop the skills to detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats targeting industrial operations, minimizing downtime and business disruption.
Even in the tech industry, ICS security is often overlooked. This training showed me how ICS threats impact all sectors and gave me the skills to mitigate them.
