Peter Jackson is a Principal Industrial Consultant at Dragos and a SANS Certified Instructor teaching ICS515: ICS Visibility, Detection, and Response. He has spent his career supporting critical infrastructure operators and government organizations across APAC and North America, working across mainly power and water utilities, oil and gas, manufacturing, and transport sectors.
What makes Peter effective in the classroom is straightforward: he provides a pragmatic engineering voice in building programs, conducting assessments, and leading tabletop exercises in live industrial environments. With a career spent in ICS/OT environments, he brings operational reality directly into instruction. His roots are in control and safety systems–as a previously certified Functional Safety Engineer, he approaches ICS security from first principles, connecting visibility, detection, and response to the consequence models that engineers and operators already think in. Students leave with skills they can apply in environments where safety and uptime are the first as foremost, not an afterthought.
Peter Jackson continues to provide his teaching that eases understanding, applies his experience to the concepts, and is highly engaged with us.

In ICS (industrial control systems) or OT (operational technology) security, there is an endless list of ‘security’ issues that could be ‘remediated’. Many industrial organisations, much less IT/OT stakeholders don’t know where to start.

산업 제어 시스템(ICS) 및 운영기술(OT)관련 보안에서는 '해결'될 수 있는 끊임없는 '보안' 문제들이 산재해 있습니다만 담당자들은 보통 어디서 시작해야하는지가 가장 큰 고민입니다.

産業用制御システム(ICS)や運用技術(OT)に関するセキュリティにおいては、改善すべきセキュリティ上の課題が無限に存在します。多くの産業系の組織やIT/OTに携わる方は、こうした課題に対してどこから手を付ければいいのか迷ってしまいがちです。
