Training highlights of the
ICS.211 Certified OT Security Technical Expert (COSTE)
In the training ICS.211 Certified OT Security Technical Expert (COSTE) you can expect a special highlight: a comprehensive Exercise Handbook that guides you step by step through a variety of practical exercises – ideal for directly applying and deepening your knowledge.
In our training environment, you will work with realistic OT simulations and professional tools – alone or in a team. You will experience first-hand how attacks on industrial control systems can be detected, analyzed and defended against.
You can look forward to a wide variety of task formats – from hands-on labs to tabletop simulations:
- Manipulating Modbus & MQTT – understanding and securing protocols
- Analyze network traffic – with Wireshark and real PCAP files
- DoS attacks on S7 PLCs – recognizing vulnerabilities and discussing countermeasures
- Planning network segmentation – designing secure OT architectures
- Threat modeling & impact analyses – systematically assessing risks
The course concludes with a final challenge in which you put all your knowledge to the test – an exciting combination of forensic analysis, cryptography and practical attack detection.
