Ics Incident Response and Assessment

This course aims to develop students with the competency required for secured deployment of an industrial control systems (ICS) in OT facilities (such as power, transportation, oil & refinery sectors) and CII.

What You'll Learn

Rapid digital transformation has caused industrial processes to shift from systems based on proprietary computing and communications, to those based on open standard Information Technology (IT) computing platforms. This has led to the convergence of IT and OT, and created an industrial revolution of systems interconnectivity. This requires niche and targeted training for engineers, infocomm security and IT professionals to attain the necessary skillsets.

This course aims to develop students with the competency required for secured deployment of an industrial control systems (ICS) in OT facilities (such as power, transportation, oil & refinery sectors) and CII.

Students will learn in-depth technical knowledge on offensive techniques used by attackers to compromise OT facilities and to propose solutions for cyber security as well as responding to breach in cyber security for such critical systems.

This course is suitable for working adults from both information technology, infocomm security and engineering who wish to pick up specialised skills and knowledge and to be crossed-trained in OT cybersecurity.
