"In this fully asynchronous, 7-week course, you will explore the unique world of operational technology (OT) — the hardware, software, and networks that run critical infrastructure from manufacturing lines to power grids. You’ll gain foundational knowledge of OT terminology, architectures, and components (PLCs, SCADA, historians, sensors/actuators), then dive into the protocols, network designs, and segmentation strategies that keep these environments running—and secure. Along the way, you’ll study real-world attack patterns (Stuxnet, Ukraine grid intrusions), learn to apply MITRE ATT&CK for ICS, and navigate the regulatory and compliance frameworks that govern the electric sector and other process-driven industries"
