The OTSEC Week Training Series is an essential event aimed at empowering the operational technology (OT) workforce of tomorrow. Set in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, this series provides a comprehensive educational experience focused on the fundamentals of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) cybersecurity. Participants will gain a solid foundation in ICS while exploring how cybersecurity principles are crucial in critical infrastructure environments.The training includes an introduction to the ICS and cybersecurity landscape, covering common threats and vulnerabilities that exist within these systems. Attendees will learn core cybersecurity principles specifically tailored for OT environments, as well as the essentials of building a defensible ICS architecture. The series incorporates industry-recognized frameworks such as IEC 62443, which will be integrated into a guided workshop where participants will have the opportunity to build a secure system blueprint. Additionally, sessions will focus on layers of ICS architecture and security models, network segmentation, and the significance of asset discovery and network visibility in OT environments. Emphasis will be placed on why visibility is critical in OT security, along with tools and techniques for asset identification.Another key aspect of the training is the development of a governance and risk management framework tailored for OT. Participants will learn how to conduct risk assessments, adhere to governance standards (including NIST, IEC 62443, and ISO 27019), and integrate governance into daily operations. The final workshop will culminate in building a comprehensive risk governance roadmap. This training series is led by seasoned experts in the field, including the Head of Industry Engagement and Collaboration and a renowned IT/OT security consultant and trainer, ensuring that participants receive insights from industry leaders. The OTSEC Week Training Series is an invaluable opportunity for professionals looking to enhance their knowledge and skills in ICS cybersecurity.
