ON-SITE OR VIRTUAL PROGRAM
OT Essentials for Technology & Operations Leaders
This immersive two-day course held at the Marshall University Institute for Cyber Security provides the strategic clarity and technical arsenal necessary to secure operational technology systems. Designed for both technology leaders and operations professionals, the program bridges the gap between policy and practice in OT environments that keep communities, municipalities, campuses, and private business operations running.
Key Learning Outcomes for Students:
- OT Risk Identification: Learn to identify vulnerable systems across building automation, HVAC controls, cameras, access systems, smart facilities, utility systems, and connected industrial equipment.
- Governance Framework Application: Apply proven governance frameworks like IEC 62443 and NIST CSF to protect operational technology environments.
- IT-OT Convergence Security: Understand how to secure OT systems that are increasingly connected to IT networks and manage the risks at the intersection.
- Physical and Digital Resilience: Strengthen organizational resilience across both physical operational systems and digital infrastructure.
- Zero-Barriers Entry: Master OT security governance without prior OT cybersecurity experience.

FLAGSHIP PROGRAM
Mastering OT Cybersecurity Governance
This intensive two-day course, held at the immersive BSU Cyber Range, provides the strategic clarity and technical arsenal required to secure critical infrastructure. Designed for both technical engineers and executive leadership, the program bridges the gap between policy and practice in Operational Technology (OT) environments.
Key Learning Outcomes for Students:
- Real-World Defense: Gain direct insights from an incident response case study involving a nation-state attack (Volt Typhoon) to understand real-world recovery strategies.
- Regulatory Mastery: Establish foundational frameworks and navigate the legal and regulatory requirements unique to OT, including NERC-CIP, IEC 62443, and the NIST CSF.
- Organizational Alignment: Learn to facilitate critical communication between IT and OT teams to ensure unified security implementation.
- Strategic Policy Development: Build OT-specific policies, procedures, and risk management strategies across the entire asset lifecycle.
- Zero-Barriers Entry: Master governance and regulatory alignment without requiring prior OT security experience.

In-Person Cybersecurity Training at Bridgewater State University Cyber Range or Live On-Line Hybrid.
This program is designed for the architects, operators, and executives tasked with securing the world’s most critical systems. It serves as the definitive cybersecurity training bridge for:
OT Leaders & Asset Owners
Plant managers, facility directors, and lead engineers who need to move beyond “uptime at all costs” to a culture of baked-in security.
IT/OT Converged Teams
Security architects and IT managers transitioning into industrial environments who must learn the unique safety and availability requirements of the plant floor.
Strategic Integrators
Third-party vendors and system integrators who need to provide compliant, “shielded” solutions to their industrial clients.
Governance & Risk Executives
CISOs and GRC professionals responsible for aligning OT operations with global standards like IEC 62443 and NIST CSF.
Public Sector & Utility Officials
Municipal staff and utility leaders managing critical infrastructure under increasing regulatory scrutiny and nation-state threats.
Targeted Sectors:
Our cybersecurity training curriculum is built for high-stakes environments where downtime is not an option:
- Utilities & Energy: Grid operators and renewable energy providers.
- Manufacturing & Industrial: High-output facilities with legacy system dependencies.
- Critical Municipal Services: Water, wastewater, and public works.
OT Cybersecurity Essentials
2-Day Immersive Program
Stop treating your operational technology like a standard IT problem. If your facility relies on HVAC, physical access systems, or industrial controls, you have a critical security gap. This 2-day immersive cybersecurity training program gives you the practical frameworks to identify risks and protect OT systems before a breach disrupts your operations.
What You’ll Learn:
Implement Industry Standards
Apply NIST Cybersecurity Framework and IEC 62443 to your specific facility—with practical guidance, not academic theory.
Build Operational Security Governance
Establish OT-specific policies that bridge the gap between IT, facilities, and executive leadership.
Prepare for Real Incidents
Develop risk assessments and incident response plans for critical physical systems—before you need them.
Corporate Cyber Threat Management
When ransomware hits, your board will ask three questions: How did this happen? What’s it going to cost? Could we have prevented it? This program gives executives and senior leaders the knowledge to answer those questions before a breach occurs—and make informed decisions about cybersecurity investment, governance, and incident response.
Who Should Attend:
CEOs, CFOs, COOs, Board Members, and senior managers responsible for organizational risk and business continuity.
What You’ll Learn:
Align Security Investment with Business Risk
Understand which cyber risks actually threaten your revenue, operations, and reputation—and how to prioritize spending accordingly. Stop guessing; start measuring.
Lead Through a Breach
Build an executive-level incident response plan that addresses board communication, legal obligations, customer notification, media management, and regulatory reporting. Know what decisions you’ll face and who needs to make them.
Create a Defensible Security Posture
Use the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to establish a scalable security program that satisfies auditors, insurers, and customers—without requiring a cybersecurity degree.
Ask the Right Questions
Learn how to evaluate your IT team’s security recommendations, assess vendor proposals, and hold leadership accountable for cyber risk management.
OT Integrator Security Certification
Your customers are asking security questions you can’t answer. RFPs are requiring compliance you don’t understand. And when a breach happens on a system you installed, your company is exposed.
This certification course teaches OT integrators—control system engineers, network installers, and system designers—how to build security into every project from day one. Stop losing bids to competitors who can check the security boxes. Start designing systems that protect your customers and your reputation.
Who Should Attend:
Control system integrators, industrial network engineers, SCADA system designers, automation engineers, and technical project managers.
What You’ll Learn:
Design Networks That Resist Attacks
Build industrial networks with proper segmentation, access controls, and monitoring—so attackers can’t move laterally from IT systems into your customer’s production floor.
Secure SCADA, HVAC, and Industrial Systems
Learn the technical specifics of hardening PLCs, HMIs, SCADA servers, and industrial protocols (Modbus, PROFINET, BACnet, DNP3) against common attack vectors.
Meet Customer Security Requirements
Understand IEC 62443 compliance requirements and how to document security controls in your installation—so you can confidently respond to RFPs and customer audits.
Reduce Your Liability
Know what security responsibilities you own as an integrator, how to scope security work appropriately, and how to protect your company when things go wrong.
Cybersecurity Training Where It Matters
Our partnership with Bridgewater State University provides access to a dedicated cyber range—an isolated environment where teams can experience real attack scenarios without real-world consequences.
