Advancing ICS/OT Security Across Federal Critical Infrastructure: What 2025 Data Reveals
The 2025 report highlights challenges federal teams know well: securing remote access pathways, extending visibility below Purdue Level 3, and ensuring safe, validated recovery across mission-critical systems.
SANS ICS training builds the skills needed to strengthen these capabilities and prepare practitioners for GIAC certifications—including GICSP, GRID, and GCIP—which are formally aligned with DoW 8140 and mapped to NICE Framework work roles.
