Security analytics Tuning and Optimization
RCCE students will learn Industrial Control System security including PLC programming security, DCS architecture protection, safety instrumented system integrity, industrial protocol analysis, and ICS-specific incident response. RCCE students will learn to assess ICS environments for cybersecurity vulnerabilities, implement defense-in-depth for industrial control networks, monitor ICS communications for unauthorized commands, detect and respond to attacks targeting programmable logic controllers and distributed control systems, maintain safety system integrity during cyber incidents, apply ICS security standards including IEC 62443 and NIST SP 800-82, and bridge the gap between IT security teams and OT operations staff. This optimization course focuses on maximizing effectiveness and efficiency in production security operations. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn to reduce noise, improve signal quality, tune configurations for optimal performance, and measure operational improvements. Students gain the operational maturity to transform good security programs into exceptional ones.
