OT Cybersecurity Awareness Training
Role-specific cybersecurity awareness programs built around real OT incidents, sector-specific threats, and practical security behaviors for industrial personnel at every level.
Security Awareness for OT Personnel
Generic IT security awareness training does not work for OT environments. The threats are different, the systems are different, and the consequences of a security failure can include physical harm, environmental damage, and production loss. OT personnel need training that speaks to their specific roles and the systems they interact with every day.
Our awareness training is built on real OT attack case studies and tailored to each audience group: operators learn to recognize suspicious behavior on HMIs, engineers understand secure configuration practices, and leadership understands governance responsibilities and risk exposure.
Role-Specific Training
Real OT scenarios, not repurposed IT awareness content
Engagement Methodology
A structured, phased approach designed for the safety, availability, and compliance requirements of operational technology environments.
Audience Profiling and Baseline
Profile the target audience by role: plant operators, control engineers, maintenance technicians, IT staff, and management. Assess current cybersecurity awareness levels through surveys or interviews. Establish a measurable knowledge baseline to track improvement.
Content Development
Develop training content tailored to the OT environment: real-world ICS incident case studies (TRITON, Industroyer, Colonial Pipeline), sector-specific threat scenarios, social engineering recognition, secure handling of portable media, password and access hygiene, and incident reporting procedures.
Delivery and Engagement
Deliver training through a combination of instructor-led sessions, interactive scenarios, and role-specific breakout modules. Use real examples from the client's industry sector to maximize relevance and retention. Adapt depth and technical detail to each audience group.
Assessment and Certification
Evaluate participant knowledge through scenario-based assessments. Issue completion certificates and competency scores per individual and group. Identify individuals or teams requiring additional focus or follow-up sessions.
Sustainment Plan
Deliver a sustainment plan covering refresher schedules, ongoing awareness activities, phishing simulation recommendations, and metrics for tracking security culture improvement over time. Define triggers for re-training based on incidents or organizational changes.
