Certified: The CompTIA SecOT+ Audio Course

This episode explains how OT incident management frameworks provide structured response discipline when safety and uptime are at stake, and why SecOT+ scenarios often reward the answer that follows a clear lifecycle...

This episode teaches how to apply a collection management framework so OT security data collection is purposeful, sustainable, and aligned to operational constraints rather than being an endless hunt for “more logs.”...

This episode explains how to map OT assets into a CMDB in a way that supports security decisions without forcing IT-centric data models that ignore plant reality. You’ll learn which attributes belong in a CMDB record...

This episode explains why software inventory in OT must be mapped to hardware reality, because risks often live in firmware versions, installed packages, configuration sets, and vendor toolchains that do not show up in...

This episode teaches which asset attributes matter most for OT security decisions and why capturing the right details prevents wasted effort during audits, patch planning, and incident response. You’ll learn how to...

This episode teaches how to choose asset discovery methods that respect OT safety and reliability constraints, because the wrong discovery approach can disrupt production and destroy trust in the security program...

This episode explains asset management as a continuous OT security capability, because you cannot govern access, assess risk, or respond confidently if you do not know what exists and what it does. You’ll learn the...

This episode teaches facility perimeter controls as the outermost layer of OT defense, because the easiest attack path is often the one that requires no network sophistication at all. You’ll learn how fences and...

This episode explains how surveillance and inspection support OT security by providing reality checks that tools alone cannot deliver, especially in environments where visibility gaps and legacy constraints are common...

This episode teaches how to secure critical spaces and infrastructure elements in OT, because many “cyber” compromises become easy when rooms, cabinets, and cabling are treated as mere facilities concerns. You’ll learn...

This episode explains physical security controls as part of OT security posture, because physical access frequently equals control access when cabinets, ports, and engineering environments are reachable. You’ll learn...

This episode teaches how to maintain interoperability in OT while keeping designs simple enough to operate reliably, because complexity creates hidden dependencies and workarounds that expand attack surface. You’ll...

This episode explains how OT security designs must preserve performance while also producing auditability and observability that can be demonstrated with evidence, because “we think it’s secure” fails the moment an...

This episode teaches how to engineer compartmentalization in OT so you can limit blast radius while still preserving the control behaviors operations depend on, a balancing act that shows up repeatedly in design and...

This episode explains operational resilience as the ability to endure disruption and recover safely, which is a central OT outcome and a frequent thread in SecOT+ scenarios about outages, containment, and restoration...
