Securing Industrial Networks — From Protocols to Digital Twins
41 modules covering 9 ICS protocols with 3 digital twin process models. IEC 62443, NERC CIP, and NIST 800-82 compliant training and assessment for operational technology environments.
Why This Matters
IT security teams lack OT expertise. Industrial protocols (Modbus, DNP3, OPC UA) are fundamentally different from IT networks, and applying IT security practices directly to OT can cause safety hazards.
OT/SCADA training requires physical process equipment — PLCs, RTUs, HMIs — that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most organizations can't justify dedicated OT security training infrastructure.
Compliance with IEC 62443 and NERC CIP requires demonstrated OT security competency. Without hands-on practice environments, compliance is theoretical.
OT Shield
OT Shield provides 41 hands-on modules covering 9 ICS protocols (Modbus TCP/RTU, DNP3, OPC UA, BACnet, EtherNet/IP, IEC 61850, PROFINET, S7comm, MQTT). Three digital twin process models (power grid, water treatment, manufacturing) simulate real industrial processes for safe training.
Key Capabilities
9 ICS Protocols
Modbus TCP/RTU, DNP3, OPC UA, BACnet, EtherNet/IP, IEC 61850, PROFINET, S7comm, MQTT — real protocol traffic.
3 Digital Twins
Power grid (IEC 61850), water treatment (Modbus/DNP3), and manufacturing (PROFINET/S7) process simulations.
41 Training Modules
Protocol analysis, attack detection, incident response, network segmentation, zone/conduit design.
10 Protocol Gateway Pairs
Protocol translation and security testing scenarios for IT/OT boundary protection.
Compliance Mapping
IEC 62443, NERC CIP, NIST 800-82 control mapping with evidence generation for audits.
Purdue Model Training
Hands-on exercises organized by Purdue model levels. Zone segmentation and conduit security.
Use Cases
Real-world scenarios where OT Shield delivers measurable impact.
Power Utility OT Security Training
Scenario: A power distribution company needs to train their control system engineers on OT security as mandated by NCIIPC.
Outcome: OT Shield deploys the power grid digital twin with IEC 61850 protocol traffic. Engineers practice detecting anomalies in substation communications without risking production systems.
IEC 62443 Compliance Preparation
Scenario: A manufacturing company needs to achieve IEC 62443 compliance for their SCADA-connected production lines.
Outcome: OT Shield provides zone/conduit design exercises mapped to IEC 62443 requirements. Compliance evidence generated from hands-on assessments satisfies auditor requirements.
IT/OT Convergence Security
Scenario: An organization is converging IT and OT networks and needs to understand the security implications.
Outcome: OT Shield's protocol gateway exercises demonstrate IT/OT boundary risks. Engineers practice configuring protocol translation, data diodes, and network segmentation for converged environments.
