SANS is excited to launch the SANS ICS/OT Practice Area under the leadership of SANS Fellow Robert M. Lee. Building on the vision of the late Michael Assante, this initiative is designed to enhance engagement with the cybersecurity community by tailoring course accessibility, content development, and strategic outreach to better serve the ICS/OT community. With a focus on expanding SANS ICS training to a broader global audience—starting with APAC—this effort aims to strengthen the capabilities of those protecting critical infrastructure amidst increasing cyber threats and evolving industrial challenges. During this town hall, Rob will share insights into his new role, the mission of the Practice Area, and how it will support the community, with the majority of the session dedicated to Q&A.
