Course summary

Learn how OT differs from IT, why availability outranks confidentiality, and the canonical industrial threat actors (Stuxnet, Industroyer, TRITON). End the course with a working mental map of the IEC 62443 series so the rest of the program drops cleanly into place.

Outcomes

  • Name the seven Foundational Requirements of IEC 62443-3-3.
  • Identify the Purdue level for any device on a brownfield network diagram.
  • Reconstruct a Stuxnet-style attack timeline from public IOCs.
  • Map a control-system asset inventory onto an IEC 62443 zone & conduit diagram.
