Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, attendees will understand:

  • The fundamental difference between the priorities of OT and information technology (IT) from a cyber perspective;
  • The process for achieving authority to operate for legacy controls systems;
  • The basic differences between DIACAP and NIST as they relate to controls systems compliance in DoD facilities;
  • Whether wireless systems pose a fundamental threat or if they can be safely implemented in some applications; and
  • Whether controls networks can reside on existing IT networks or if isolation is a fundamental control that cannot be overcome.
