Practical Safety constraints Workshop
RCCE students will learn operational technology environments, ICS/SCADA systems, industrial protocol security, safety-critical systems, and OT network segmentation. RCCE students will learn to protect industrial control systems with security controls that respect operational safety requirements, defend critical infrastructure against cyber-physical threats, and bridge the gap between IT security and OT operations. This practice-intensive course emphasizes applied skills through lab exercises, real-world scenarios, and production-realistic workflows. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn by doing, building muscle memory and practical confidence through repeated hands-on engagement. Students complete exercises that mirror actual workplace tasks, ensuring skills transfer directly to their professional roles.
