This course, *Professionally Evil ICS & OT Fundamentals*, provides a comprehensive introduction to the foundational principles of ICS/OT environments.

Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT) are the backbone of critical infrastructure, enabling essential processes in energy, manufacturing, transportation, and other industries.  However, the increasing integration of traditional IT technologies within ICS/OT environments brings unique security challenges distinct from, yet overlapping with, IT systems.  The increase of cyber threats brings to focus the need for security program strategies to be implemented to protect these critical operations.

Participants will explore the architecture and operational dynamics of OT systems, the role of SCADA networks, and the unique considerations for incorporating cybersecurity into these environments.  The course also covers the limitations and challenges of applying traditional IT security methodologies in OT settings, highlighting the importance of balancing operational reliability with effective threat mitigation.

Through engaging lectures, hands-on insights, and real-world examples, attendees will gain the knowledge necessary to understand, assess, and improve the cybersecurity posture of ICS/OT systems without compromising operational goals.
