Operational Technology Cyber Security Training
In today’s world, cyber awareness is a collective responsibility that needs to be embedded within an entire organisation. With the domain of Operational Technology becoming an increasingly utilised attack vector for cyber criminals, it’s more important than ever that your OT engineers and IT technicians both understand the complex nature of securing OT, and how to effectively mitigate risk within an industrial environment.
Our suite of OT cyber training programmes, delivered in collaboration with the Cyber Innovation Hub (in conjunction with Cardiff University and the University of South Wales), provide a range of capabilities from fundamentals through to in-depth technical lab activities across three tiers (Core Principles, OT Security in Depth, and OT Cyber Security Professional).
Choose the right tier for you
