ICS/OT Offensive Security: Red Team Methodology

Industrial control systems are among the most critical and most vulnerable targets in the world, especially in 2026 — yet offensive security training for ICS/OT environments remains rare, expensive, and largely inaccessible. This course changes that. ICS/OT Offensive Security: Red Team Methodology is a structured, practitioner-focused course that teaches you how to think, plan, and operate as a red teamer inside industrial environments.

You will learn how attackers approach ICS/OT targets from initial reconnaissance all the way through to physical impact — and how to conduct engagements safely, professionally, and with the depth that critical infrastructure demands. You will build a complete understanding of OT architecture, industrial protocols, and adversary tradecraft before moving into offensive techniques covering initial access, IT-to-OT pivoting, lateral movement across Purdue model levels, protocol exploitation, and device attacks against PLCs, RTUs, and HMIs. Every major phase is grounded in real-world adversary behavior mapped to MITRE ATT&CK for ICS, and reinforced through four in-depth case studies covering Stuxnet, Industroyer, Triton, and the Oldsmar water treatment attack.

The course closes with a full red team reporting framework designed specifically for OT engagements, including how to communicate physical risk to both technical teams and executive stakeholders. Whether you are a penetration tester expanding into ICS, an IT security professional transitioning into OT, or a consultant supporting critical infrastructure clients — this course gives you the methodology, the knowledge, and the professional foundation to operate in one of the most demanding and highest-impact specializations in cybersecurity.
