Cybersecurity for Industrial Control Systems (OT/ICS)
In industrial systems a cyber incident is a physical event waiting to happen — OT security is a safety discipline that happens to involve computers.

Industrial control systems were designed for reliability in isolated networks — then the networks stopped being isolated. This programme trains OT/ICS security as its own discipline, not IT security transplanted: the threat landscape from commodity ransomware to targeted ICS malware; architecture and segmentation — zones, conduits and the IT/OT boundary defended in practice; the operational constraints that make patching and monitoring different in OT; and incident response where the first question is process safety, not data loss. Built on recognised frameworks and real published incidents, for engineers and security staff jointly.
What you will do
Who attends
Control systems and instrumentation engineers; IT security staff extending into OT; plant and operations managers; CISOs and risk teams with industrial assets.
Programme agenda
Built for the decisions no textbook prepares you for
I.The terrain
- OT versus IT: priorities, protocols, lifecycles — why the difference matters
- The threat landscape: from opportunistic ransomware to targeted ICS attacks
- Published incidents read as lessons, not headlines
II.The defences
- Architecture: zones, conduits and the defended IT/OT boundary
- Asset inventory and vulnerability management under uptime constraints
- Remote access, vendors and the maintenance laptop problem
III.When it happens
- Detection and monitoring adapted to industrial traffic
- Incident response: process safety first, forensics second
- Recovery and the drill: rehearsed with operations, not for them
Frequently asked
Which security frameworks do the programmes work with?
The frameworks security teams are audited against — including ISO 27001, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and GDPR obligations — plus industrial control-system security for oil, gas and utilities environments. BIZENIUS does not certify against these standards; participants leave able to run the risk assessments, write the ISMS documentation and prepare the evidence an auditor asks for.
Is there cybersecurity content for boards and non-technical executives?
Yes. Dedicated programmes address risk and cybersecurity for board members, and cyber governance, risk and compliance for executives, alongside practitioner-level depth for security teams — from emerging threats and countermeasures to fraud detection and investigation. Boards leave knowing which questions to put to their CISO, and what a satisfactory answer looks like.
How is pricing handled for cybersecurity programmes?
There is no public rate card. The fee arrives in the proposal, shaped by format, location and any tailoring — request the brochure and a senior practitioner replies within one business day with the details.
Can security training run inside our own environment?
Yes. Every programme runs in-house, tailored to your threat model, your sector and your control environment — including operational-technology settings such as process-control systems. Delivery is in English or French, on site or as a private live virtual cohort.
