Threat Modeling For Industrial Control Systems

Master Asset Criticality, Attack Surface Mapping, STRIDE & PASTA for ICS, Threat Intel Feeds & IoCs for OT Security

What you’ll learn
Identify and prioritise critical industrial assets using consequence-based analysis that accounts for safety, environmental, and operational impact.
Profile threat actors targeting ICS environments by analysing capability, intent, resources, and tactics, techniques and procedures specific to OT.
Systematically map attack surfaces across ICS architectures by identifying entry points, trust boundaries, and data flows at every Purdue level.
Apply STRIDE, PASTA, and attack tree methodologies adapted for industrial control systems where physical consequences drive risk prioritisation.
Consume threat intelligence effectively using ISACs, ICS-CERT advisories, and commercial feeds to inform defensive strategy in OT environments.
Identify indicators of compromise specific to industrial environments including network anomalies, host-based artefacts, and behavioural indicators.

Requirements
Basic understanding of cybersecurity concepts such as threat actors, risk assessment, and network fundamentals. No prior OT or industrial experience required.
Familiarity with the Purdue Model or ICS architecture is helpful but not essential — we provide the context needed to understand where threats materialise.
Suitable for security architects, risk professionals, and cybersecurity practitioners seeking structured threat modeling skills for industrial environments.

Description
Every industrial security programme starts with the same question: what are we protecting, and from whom? Most organisations get this wrong — either defending everything equally or copying IT threat models that don’t account for physical consequences in operational technology.Here’s the problem: traditional threat modeling frameworks like STRIDE and PASTA were designed for enterprise software. Applied directly to ICS without adaptation, they miss critical elements — safety instrumented systems, consequence-based targeting, Level 0/1 attack surfaces, and the reality that a compromised PLC doesn’t just lose data, it can cause explosions, environmental releases, or loss of life. That gap between IT threat modeling and OT reality is where industrial risk lives.This course bridges that gap.In under two hours, you’ll build the structured threat modeling skills that separate senior ICS security professionals from general practitioners. You’ll learn how to identify and prioritise critical assets using consequence-based analysis rather than generic risk matrices, how to profile threat actors by capability, intent, resources and TTPs specific to industrial targeting, how to systematically map attack surfaces across trust boundaries, entry points and data flows in ICS architectures, how STRIDE and PASTA methodologies adapt to operational technology environments and where attack trees add value, how to consume threat intelligence effectively using ISACs, ICS-CERT advisories and commercial feeds, and how to identify indicators of compromise specific to ICS including network, host and behavioural indicators that signal adversary activity in OT environments.This isn’t generic risk management. It’s structured, practical and vendor-neutral — aligned with IEC 62443 and real-world operational security practices. Every methodology is taught in the context of industrial systems where the consequences of getting it wrong are measured in safety, not just dollars.Built by an instructor with 15 years delivering major infrastructure projects and hands-on expertise in IEC 62443 and IEC 61511 functional safety standards.By the end, you’ll confidently lead threat modeling exercises for industrial environments, brief risk teams and architects on ICS-specific attack surfaces, and apply structured intelligence to drive real security decisions.Threat modeling is where ICS security strategy begins.
