What you will learn during this training course
Structured along the incident handling lifecycle
The training ICS.222 OT Incident Handling Essentials provides practical knowledge for the effective management of incidents in industrial control systems (OT). The content is based on the proven Incident Handling Lifecycle according to NIST SP 800-61 Rev. 2. This lifecycle is divided into four central phases, which are systematically covered in the training:
