Pathways

Two Training Pathways

Every Academy course sits in one of two pathways - the same two specialisms our consultancy is built around.

Operational Technology (OT) pathway badge

Operational Technology (OT)

Keeping physical operations safe, available and compliant

Security for the environments where a cyber event becomes a safety or availability event: ICS, SCADA, PLCs and the networks around them.

  • Secure-by-design architecture, zones and conduits aligned to IEC 62443
  • Asset discovery, segmentation and OT-safe monitoring in live plant
  • NIS Regulations and sector regulator engagement
  • Engineering-team capability building and mentoring

Cyber Defence & Response pathway badge

Cyber Defence & Response

Detect earlier, investigate properly, recover faster

Defensive security across the enterprise and the operational estate - detection engineering, incident response readiness and digital forensics capability.

  • Detection and monitoring design across IT and OT telemetry
  • Incident response planning, playbooks and live exercising
  • Digital forensics, malware and mobile investigation capability
  • Threat-informed hardening and control validation
Cyber Defence & Response courses

Bridging IT Security Theory and Real-World Cyber Resilience

We specialise in offering Operational Technology (OT) Cyber Security Courses - the critical intersection where digital security meets the physical world. From protecting power grids and water treatment plants to manufacturing floors and transportation systems, our mission is to equip your workforce with the skills to defend what matters most. We bridge the gap between IT security theory and real-world OT resilience, and our courses are vendor-agnostic and built for today's industrial control environments.

We also offer traditional cyber security technical courses, including Digital Forensics, Malware, Incident Response and Mobile investigations for the cyber security industry and those tasked with cyber investigations, as well as eLearning solutions.

Instructors

Our Training Instructors

Real-world OT and traditional cyber security experience is non-negotiable for us. Our instructors have secured live industrial environments (not just read about them), led major incident response engagements, and conducted complex digital forensic investigations.

  • ICS/SCADA: our instructors have an average of 15+ years' experience across various utilities.
  • Cyber Security & Digital Forensics: our course author alone has in excess of 25 years across multiple disciplines.
  • Active practitioners: all our instructors are industry practitioners, some of whom also lecture at universities on the subject.
