IoT and Operational Technology Security for Industrial Sites

As South African mines, factories and utilities connect plant equipment and sensors to their networks, they expose control systems that were never designed to be online. This course helps engineering and IT teams understand the distinct security challenges of operational technology and connected devices. Delegates learn how to segment, monitor and protect these environments without disrupting production.
