Meet instructor Aditya Thokne, who brings eight years of IT and OT security experience, real-world incident response, and core expertise in doc operation, trade detection, and trade hunting in OT.
Analyze pcap files in Wireshark to reveal protocol usage, top communicating systems, and key traffic patterns; apply filters to study mode bus, DNS, and HTTP activity in OT environments.
Explore how a SIEM aggregates logs and alerts from firewalls, endpoint security, Active Directory, and OT sensors to provide centralized visibility, correlate events, and enable faster incident detection and response.
Operational Technology (OT) environments are becoming a major target for cyberattacks, making OT network visibility and security monitoring more important than ever. This course is designed to provide a practical and industry-focused understanding of OT Network Security Monitoring for ICS/SCADA environments.
In this course, you will learn how industrial networks operate, how OT differs from traditional IT environments, and how security teams monitor and detect suspicious activities within critical infrastructure networks. The course covers core concepts such as the Purdue Model, SPAN ports, Network TAPs, RSPAN, ERSPAN, inline monitoring, SIEM log collection, threat intelligence, vulnerability management, and OT threat hunting.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Understand OT/ICS network architecture and communication
Monitor industrial network traffic effectively
Use SPAN, TAP, and remote monitoring techniques
Integrate OT logs into SIEM platforms
Perform OT threat hunting and anomaly detection
Understand vulnerability management and threat intelligence in OT environments
Improve visibility and security monitoring across industrial networks
This course is suitable for:
OT/ICS Security Engineers
SOC Analysts and Threat Hunters
Network Security Professionals
Industrial Automation Engineers
Cybersecurity Students and Beginners interested in OT Security
Whether you are starting your journey in industrial cybersecurity or looking to improve your OT monitoring skills, this course will provide practical knowledge and real-world concepts used in modern OT security operations.
