Training Overview
The OT Assessment & Penetration Testing in Live Environments training equips engineering, operations, and security professionals with the mindset, methodologies, and techniques required to perform security testing in these fragile and mission-critical environments. A core element of the course is learning how to apply the appropriate methods, techniques, and safety precautions necessary to maintain system availability during testing. Participants also develop a deeper understanding of how to implement, refine, and build upon these skills to advance their OT security testing capabilities across live networks and systems.
Key Learning Areas:
- Plan and execute safe, effective, and high-value OT security assessments and penetration tests, including both passive and active techniques.
- Align OT assessments and penetration tests with organisational and operational security objectives.
- Identify realistic OT attack scenarios targeting critical assets and components.
- Engage and communicate with stakeholders to define expectations, goals, scope, and measurable outcomes for the assessment or penetration testing project.
- Select appropriate testing methods for different OT zones, such as the IDMZ and lower Purdue levels, and understand the benefits of integrating the ICS Cyber Kill Chain into testing activities.
- Evaluate tools and techniques for safety and effectiveness before applying them in a live OT environment.
- Identify relevant targets and map applicable adversary Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs).
- Produce a comprehensive, actionable, and high-value OT assessment and penetration test report.
