In this course, you'll explore OT systems and their base components, as well as systems such as Industrial Control System, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, programmable logic controllers, and Intelligent Electronic Devices. You'll also learn about the common security challenges facing OT systems. Finally, you'll examine common OT-related attacks, tools, and defensive countermeasures. This course is one in a series that helps to prepare you for the Certified Ethical Hacker v11 (312-50) exam.
