Study of high-impact OT incidents in the Railway Sector

We consider it essential for students to have a basic understanding of industrial environments, including aspects of automation and industrial communications, ideal for this multidisciplinary course.

To facilitate this foundation, before the course begins, CCI will provide access to a virtual and dynamic educational resource. This material aims to give students a solid grasp of these fundamental concepts.

Our ongoing goal is to ensure the highest success for our students and participants.

• The need for training in this field is driven by the urgent demand within the industry for professionals specialized in cybersecurity for the railway sector. These experts must be able to identify technological risks that may affect communications and industrial automation systems across railway environments.

From 15:00h to 19:00h (CET – Central Europe Time)

Each participant will receive an individual-use copy of the following materials:

• CCI Publication: Best Practices for OT Cybersecurity Assessments in Industrial Environments
• CCI Publication: Cybersecurity Throughout the Lifecycle of an Industrial Automation Project
• CCI Publication: Cybersecurity Throughout the Lifecycle of an Industrial Digitalization Project
• CCI Publication: ICSMS Guide for Implementing an Industrial Cybersecurity Management System
• The presentation materials used during the course
• Practical exercises and case studies

The training modality developed for this course is synchronous online (accessible from any location with a stable internet connection).

Sessions are always live through the videoconferencing system provided by the CCI School.

These sessions will be recorded and available for later viewing by the student for a limited time.

All training material offered during the course (session recordings, dossiers, etc.) will be available to the student for a period of 1 calendar month.

During this time, the student can freely access the material remotely.

Upon completion of the training and after meeting the necessary requirements, the student will receive a certificate from the school. This certificate attests to your attendance, participation, and fulfillment of the training requirements.

*CCI School is an internationally recognized organization whose training, experience, faculty, and professionalism are accredited.

Along with the certificate, you will receive the Green Professional Credential (which is obtained through the knowledge acquired during the training) from our CCI Industrial Cybersecurity Commitment Recognition Program.

Payment is one-time. To access the training and reserve a spot, the student must make the full payment via credit/debit card.

If, due to special circumstances, the only possible way is through bank transfer, please email us at escuela@cci-es.org, and we will handle the request personally.
