Entry into ICS/OT Cybersecurity

Does anyone know, what is the best practical way to enter ICS/OT Cybersecurity field for a Control system professional ?

I have 20+ experience in hardware and software engineering for DCS, PLC systems but completely new in OT Cybersecurity field.

So, what is the best practical way to do that like the "good training course name", "good certification course" etc. It is purely OT cybersecurity and NOT "IT Cybersecurity"which is very vast.

  • Hi Aji,

    The best ones I have done that would be applicable to you are the Exida IEC 62443 courses. For IACS (Industrial Automated Control Systems)

    I have done the self paced online course CS100-IEC 62443; Automation Cybersecurity Analysis, Design and Operation.

    A useful and interesting course with good content.

    It is split into two courses:-

    CS101:IEC 62443; Automation Cybersecurity Analysis

    CS102:IEC 62443; Automation Cybersecurity: Applying IEC62443

    At the end, if you take one online exam to gain CSP (Cyber Security Practitioner) qualification.

    If you wish to take further training with them, you could do specialised courses for CACE (Certified Automation Cybersecurity Expert) or CACS (Certified Automation Cybersecurity Specialist)

    Hope it helps.

    There are other free courses online that can also be useful, but I think the Exida and maybe TUV are more recognised.
