The GICSP (GIAC Industrial Cyber Security Professional) course teaches you how to secure industrial control systems (ICS) and critical infrastructure. You will learn how to identify and protect various ICS components, such as PLCs, RTUs, SCADA systems, and DCS systems. You will also learn how to assess and mitigate ICS vulnerabilities and risks, such as network segmentation, protocol analysis, firmware analysis, and incident response. The course prepares you for the GICSP certification exam that validates your skills in industrial cyber security.
Your course package is designed to provide maximum learning and convenience. This is included in the price of your course:
Your expert instructor will get you ready for the following exam and certification, which are not included in your course package.
The prerequisites for the GISCP course are
- Basic understanding of TCP/IP networking and protocols
- Basic familiarity with Linux and Windows operating systems and command line tools
- Basic understanding of core networking services such as DNS, DHCP etc.
- Basic understanding of common wireless standards
Using our engaging learning methodology including a variety of tools, we’ll cover the entire curriculum.
