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.
Training Built for the Plant Floor
Showing a refinery operator a phishing email simulation designed for an office worker teaches them nothing useful. OT personnel face different threats: a USB drive left in a control room, a vendor requesting unsupervised HMI access, a PLC configuration change made without documentation. Our training addresses the scenarios they will actually encounter.
Each program is built on real OT attack case studies. Operators learn to recognize unusual HMI behavior that could indicate tampering. Engineers understand why firmware updates need verification and why shared credentials on engineering workstations create risk. Leadership learns what OT cyber incidents cost and what governance structures prevent them.
Role-Specific Training
Real OT scenarios, not repurposed IT awareness content
Engagement Methodology
Each phase is designed to deliver measurable progress while respecting the operational constraints of live industrial 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.
