GIAC - Firebrand's training for GIAC's Global Industrial Cyber Security Professional | GICSP
Overview
Secure your IT systems on the GIAC Global Industrial Cyber Security Professional (GICSP) course. This five-day course teaches you how to combine IT, cyber security and engineering best practices to secure your Industrial Control Systems (ICS).
You'll learn about:
- Standards and regulations for Industrial Control Systems
- Understanding system architecture, and how to apply hardening mechanisms
- Understanding the threats to the security of process control systems
- Technologies used to carry out security audits
You'll also take part in a series of practical exercises to consolidate your knowledge of using both wired and wireless networks. By the end of this course you'll know how to harden an ICS using end-point protection, securing removable media, or updating systems.
Firebrand’s course is intended for professionals moving into or gaining responsibilities for the security of Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and covers all published syllabus areas required to tackle the GICSP certification. The course offers broader real-world training rather than simply aiming to allow students to tackle the GICSP. However students will, with some subsequent guided self-study, have all the needed skills to gain the certification.
Please note: Firebrand does not offer the GICSP exam, and the exam fee is not included in the course price.

"Ive used Firebrand several times now over multiple job roles. I found this course GICSP was the most interesting course so far. This was hugely down to the instructor''s interaction with the team and his shared real life scenarios. He is very knowledgeable indeed and presents the course in such a manner he made the subject feel much easier than it was. Its obvious that he is both passionate and dedicated in what he does. I look forward to attending onsite next year with him as the tutor"
