Course Introduction

Cyber attacks are no longer limited to IT systems; they now target operational technology and industrial environments, making them a critical threat to national infrastructure, businesses, and individuals. The consequences of a cyber breach can be devastating, disrupting operations, exposing sensitive data, and undermining public trust. Incidents like the attack on the Ukraine power station highlight the severe impact cyber threats can have on industrial control systems and critical infrastructure.

This Industrial Cyber Security training course is designed to help professionals understand the key aspects of information security and how it is applied within operational technology (OT) environments. Participants will learn how cyber incidents occur, how threat actors operate, and how to identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. With cyber attacks becoming more frequent and sophisticated, it is essential to implement proactive security measures and maintain strong defenses to protect industrial assets.

The COPEX Industrial Cyber Security course will cover:

  • Key cyber security issues affecting industrial environments
  • Cyber security approaches and best practices within OT systems
  • Introduction to Cyber Security Frameworks and standards
  • Practical strategies for cyber incident response and management
  • Development of cyber response plans and preparedness

This method ensures that learners can connect theoretical concepts with operational challenges.

The course also includes hands-on learning through assessments, group discussions, and structured exercises. These activities are designed to build practical skills in identifying vulnerabilities, assessing security posture, and implementing effective controls.
