ICS Cybersecurity Training

Secure the Industrial Systems Behind Your Operations

Train the control engineers and analysts who defend your plant to spot, contain and recover from attacks on the industrial control systems (ICS) behind your operations — hands-on, in a safe replica of your environment.

Cybersecurity Training Built for ICS Environments

This training drops your teams into realistic ICS attack scenarios modelled on the exact controllers, protocols and processes behind your operations — so they build the instincts to defend the systems that matter most, under pressure and with no risk to production.

1
Tailored to Your Environment

Exercises mapped to your own control systems and the protocols between them – SCADA, PLCs, RTUs, DCS, HMIs and industrial protocols such as Modbus, DNP3 and IEC 60870-5-104.

2
Real-World Attack Scenarios

Scenarios grounded in real ICS intrusions and mapped to MITRE ATT&CK for ICS — covering initial access, manipulation of control logic, and impact on the physical process — driven live by our Breach Simulation Agent so the same exercise can be replayed on demand.

3
Proven ICS Expertise

Grounded in real critical-infrastructure work spanning energy grids, transport hubs, water and manufacturing — so each ICS scenario mirrors threats these environments genuinely encounter.

4
No Risk to Production

Train against destructive attacks on a high-fidelity digital twin of your control systems — and, for maximum realism, connect your own PLCs, HMIs and field devices (hardware-in-the-loop) — all without touching live production.

ICS Cybersecurity Highlights

Strengthen the skills needed to protect industrial control systems and OT environments. ICS cybersecurity training helps teams recognise risks, respond to incidents, and secure critical operations.

Designed for Industrial Organisations

Our training is suitable for professionals across critical infrastructure sectors, including:

  • Energy and power generation
  • Oil and gas
  • Manufacturing
  • Water and wastewater
  • Transportation
  • Chemical industry
  • Government and defence
  • Critical infrastructure operators

CybExer's ICS Cybersecurity Training equips engineers, operators, security teams and decision-makers with the knowledge and practical experience needed to defend industrial environments. Through realistic, hands-on exercises, participants learn how cyber incidents affect operational systems and how to respond without compromising safety or continuity.

Evidence-Based ICS Security Training

Every exercise runs on the CybExer Cyber Range, where a high-fidelity digital twin of your control-system environment lets teams face realistic attacks with no risk to live operations. A White Team tracks every decision as it happens, the adversary is driven by our Breach Simulation Agent, and every action is scored by ISA — so performance is measured objectively and each after-action review turns lessons into lasting, repeatable capability.

Tailored to Your Operation

Each scenario is reverse-engineered from real ICS incidents — a manipulated PLC, a spoofed sensor feed, a rogue command on the bus — and rebuilt on a digital twin of your controllers and process logic. Difficulty is tuned to your team, from foundational control-room awareness to advanced response against multi-stage attacks on the process itself. Training can scale from a single control room to a full multi-site operation, and every engagement ends with a clear, evidence-based picture of where your defences are strong and where they need to improve. The result is a workforce that knows exactly how to act when a real attack reaches the control systems behind your operations.

Why CybExer

What sets the ICS programme apart is that the fight happens at the control layer, not just the network. Attacks are driven live by our Breach Simulation Agent, you can connect your own PLCs, HMIs and field devices hardware-in-the-loop, and every action is scored by ISA and mapped to MITRE ATT&CK for ICS — so you leave with objective evidence of whether your team can see and stop rogue commands and logic changes, not only IT alerts.

Build Resilience Across Your ICS Environment

Strengthen your team's ability to defend industrial control systems against real attacks. Talk to us about ICS training designed around your specific plant, controllers and protocols.

Preparing ICS Teams for Real Cyberattacks

Tabletop exercises and slide-based courses build awareness, but they cannot replicate the pressure of an intrusion unfolding across SCADA, PLCs, RTUs and HMIs in real time. ICS cybersecurity training closes that gap by putting your engineers and security analysts into realistic, fully instrumented scenarios where they learn to detect, contain and recover from threats before those threats ever reach your live environment.

CybExer brings this approach to life on its cyber range platform. Drawing on years of securing critical infrastructure and running live-fire exercises for governments, militaries and enterprises across energy, utilities and defence, CybExer builds high-fidelity digital twins of your control system environment and maps each scenario to the threats your teams will genuinely face. Whether your people are building foundational skills or rehearsing advanced incident response, they train against attacks grounded in the MITRE ATT&CK for ICS framework, in a safe environment that mirrors the systems they protect every day.
