Description

Cyber security is a complex and fascinating topic.
In this course, we explore the world of cyber security within the context of industrial control systems. In the past, cyber security was not considered a major concern for industrial control systems as they were not connected to the internet.

Today, however, many of these legacy systems are connected to the internet, exposing them to the possibility of a cyber attack. Attackers are targeting these systems, motivated by financial and political incentives. As engineers, we must do our part to secure these systems during this era of cyber warfare. Many tools exist for defending your industrial infrastructure including specialized hardware and software, methodologies, and security frameworks which must be used in harmony to ensure the safety of your systems.

Join us as we explore the methodologies presented in the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, as well as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, data diodes, and other specialized security solutions for OT environments.

Since I started training a few months ago, I can see there’s been a huge difference in how much more efficiently and effectively I can handle PLC repairs in the field. Our clients are telling management how happy they are to get back online more quickly and save money because I’m turning around faster fixes. I definitely recommend it for anyone who needs PLC training at any level.

Mario Flores

I needed to get up to speed on working with Siemens PLC equipment and came across RealPars training on YouTube. I watched my first video and immediately went to the website and signed up as a student. I like the way information is explained step-by-step and that it’s broken down into small chunks…I can go back and review anytime I want. I’m already seeing that I can perform repairs faster and with more confidence. Three of my co-workers were so impressed, they signed up for RealPars, too.
