OT-ISAC Training - Building and Testing OT Defenses: Purdue Architecture & Live Simulation

Overview:

Operational Technology (OT) environments face unique cyber risks where incidents can directly impact safety, availability, and physical operations. This session is designed to help participants understand how industrial systems are structured, defended, and responded to during real-world cyber incidents.

What You’ll Learn

• A clear understanding of OT layers and the Purdue Model as the foundation of industrial system design

• How to design defensible OT architectures using segmentation, zoning, and controlled communication paths

• Techniques to limit lateral movement and contain threats within industrial networks
