Industrial control systems and operational technology sit at the center of the world's critical infrastructure — and the practitioners defending them need a fundamentally different skillset than traditional IT security teams. Join us for a (CS)²AI Online™ Seminar: Engineering Expertise-Core Skills for ICS/OT Cybersecurity, a panel discussion bringing together leading experts to break down what it actually takes to build and sustain a career in ICS/OT cybersecurity.
Our speakers will cover the foundational and advanced competencies every OT security practitioner needs, including:
Understanding industrial protocols, PLCs, SCADA, and control system architecture
Bridging the IT/OT divide — translating security concepts across engineering and cybersecurity teams
Risk assessment and threat modeling specific to physical processes and safety systems
Incident response and recovery when uptime and safety are non-negotiable
Navigating standards and frameworks like IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82, and sector-specific regulations
Career pathways: certifications, hands-on experience, and how to break into the field
Whether you're an IT security professional looking to move into OT, an engineer expanding into cybersecurity, or a practitioner sharpening your existing skills, this session will give you a clear-eyed view of what the field demands — and how to get there.
Who should attend: Security analysts, control systems engineers, IT/OT convergence teams, CISOs and security leaders overseeing industrial environments, and anyone exploring a career in critical infrastructure protection.
