IOTSA and Cranfield University collaborate on the launch of innovative new MSc in OT cybersecurity.

Are you an engineer tasked with protecting Critical Infrastructures, Operational Technologies (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) form cyberattacks?

With the world of production, manufacturing and industry increasing reaping the benefits of connectivity the pressure is on for industry to improve its understanding of cybersecurity. Understanding cybersecurity issues can no longer be an optional extra for engineering lead firms, it must become a core competence of the profession. For organisations in the critical infrastructure space the NIS directive makes this mandatory. 

For Engineers and Technicians across all disciplines and industries Cranfield have developed a new cybersecurity MSc programme available to study part-time to fit around your work commitments. The course is designed to develop the skills of engineers to become cyber aware and learn how to protect against these very real threats. 

The course addresses the key challenges across the world of OT and ICS cybersecurity, including:

·Identify the cyber threats in manufacturing, ICS and OT systems

·Protecting manufacturing and production systems from cyber attacks

·Improving incident response and disaster recovery in manufacturing, OT and ICS systems

·Assess the cost and the scope of cybersecurity solutions to make your world more resilient to cyberattacks

·Developing essential OT facing cybersecurity skills to enhance your effectiveness in the role.
