Track 2: OT Track: Getting Started in OT/ICS Cybersecurity (for OT and IT Engineers / Please help us invite your critical sectors) ---------------------------------------------------------- Organisers: AfricaCERT, Iservices Systems, Team3C MN • Dates: June 16 to June 18, 2026 • Daily Time: 01:00 PM - 06:00 PM EAT (Nairobi Time) (Alternative Time Zones: 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM UTC | 5:00 AM - 10:00 AM US Central) Course Outline Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT) run the world around us. Power plants, offshore oil rigs, trains, transportation systems, and manufacturing plants are just a few examples of the critical infrastructure that society depends on every single day. Because each OT/ICS environment is unique, they all require highly specialized security measures. Protecting this critical infrastructure has never been more important. As the frequency and volume of cyberattacks continue to grow, state adversaries are no longer the only ones targeting these specialized systems. Today’s threats also include ransomware groups, hacktivists, and cyber mercenaries. While OT/ICS cybersecurity can seem complicated and even daunting at first, it does not have to be! This webinar is designed to demystify the field, helping you clearly understand the fundamentals of how these environments operate and how to effectively secure specialized networks. Who Should Attend? This course is perfect for anyone wanting to learn more about OT/ICS environments and how to secure their networks, including: OT/ICS Engineers and automation professionals Cybersecurity Professionals looking to expand into operational tech IT Professionals managing blended environments About the Instructor Mike Holcomb is an independent consultant focused on OT/ICS cybersecurity, an educational content creator, and an international speaker. Before supporting clients full-time through UtilSec, he served as a Fellow of Cybersecurity and the OT/ICS Cybersecurity Global Lead for one of the world’s largest engineering and construction companies. He gained a unique opportunity to design and implement security for some of the world's most massive OT/ICS environments - ranging from power plants to manufacturing & refineries Let's get you registered here: Registration Process: 1.
