About // Mission

Engineering Resilience in Critical Infrastructure.

"In an era where industrial control systems face unprecedented threats, we prepare the defenders of critical infrastructure with precision-engineered training."

Our Mission

otsec academy exists to address the critical skills gap in industrial cybersecurity. We provide hands-on, technically rigorous training that prepares professionals to defend SCADA systems, PLCs, and critical infrastructure against evolving threat actors.

Our curriculum is built on real-world incident response experience, industry-standard frameworks, and the Purdue Model for industrial network segmentation.

Our Vision

We envision a future where every critical infrastructure operator has access to world-class ICS security training. A future where power grids, water treatment facilities, and manufacturing plants are defended by professionals who understand both operational technology and cybersecurity.

Through virtual labs and scenario-based learning, we are building the next generation of OT security practitioners.

Our Approach to Training

We reject superficial certification programs. Our methodology combines theoretical foundations with practical application, ensuring students can immediately apply their knowledge to real-world industrial environments.

Hands-On Virtual Labs

Interact with simulated SCADA systems, PLCs, and HMIs in safe, controlled environments that mirror production networks.

Scenario-Based Learning

Train on real-world attack vectors and incident response procedures based on documented ICS security incidents.

Expert-Led Instruction

Learn from practitioners with operational experience in critical infrastructure protection and ICS security.

Industry-Standard Frameworks

Master NIST, IEC 62443, and other recognized standards for industrial control systems security.

Global Accessibility

Access training materials and virtual labs from anywhere, enabling continuous professional development.

Continuous Updates

Curriculum evolves with the threat landscape, incorporating emerging attack techniques and defense strategies.

Core Values

These principles guide every course we develop and every student interaction we facilitate.

Technical Precision

We use correct terminology, accurate technical diagrams, and industry-standard protocols. No shortcuts, no approximations.

Operational Awareness

Security measures must respect operational requirements. We teach defense strategies that maintain system availability and safety.

Evidence-Based Curriculum

Every module is grounded in documented incidents, published research, and validated security frameworks.

Accessible Excellence

World-class training should not be limited to enterprise budgets. We make expert instruction available to individual practitioners.
