OT Network: Fundamentals of Industrial Networks - Training

This hands-on training provides the knowledge and practical skills required to design, segment, monitor, and secure industrial OT and ICS networks in accordance with IEC 62443. By combining theory with practical exercises, participants are able to apply security measures directly within production environments.

  • After completing this course, you will be able to:
  • Analyze OT network architectures and identify security risks
  • Implement network segmentation, zoning, and redundancy in line with IEC 62443
  • Design secure remote access and VPN solutions for industrial networks
  • Establish monitoring, logging, and alerting in OT environments
  • Apply security measures that meet regulatory requirements while minimizing impact on production operations

  • All content aligns with the latest requirements of the IEC 62443
