Program Overview: What is Grid and Utility Cybersecurity?
Grid & Utility Cybersecurity is a 24-hour program for utility security teams, OT engineers, and grid operations staff defending power infrastructure. It covers the grid threat landscape, OT security foundations across SCADA, DCS, and industrial protocols, network segmentation and access controls, detection and incident response, plus resilience, recovery, and supply chain security. The content stays grounded in how utilities actually operate, not generic IT security theory.
Training is instructor-led with hands-on labs on realistic OT environments. Participants segment a simulated control network, tune detection for industrial protocols, and run incident response drills against grid-specific attack scenarios. Instructors with utility cybersecurity experience review every design and give direct feedback across the practice sessions. The program closes with a capstone where teams produce a full cyber assessment and hardening plan.
A single compromised substation can cascade into a regional outage, yet most utilities still run flat OT networks with unmonitored vendor access. This program teaches teams to see their grid the way attackers do, close the highest-risk paths first, and build detection that works on industrial traffic, so an intrusion becomes an incident report instead of a blackout.
Each team leaves with a utility cyber assessment and hardening plan: a documented review of a realistic grid environment with prioritized fixes, segmentation designs, and an incident response playbook tailored to OT. Instructors grade it against real utility audit expectations. It is the kind of deliverable a CISO can take straight into a board meeting.
Across 24 instructor-led hours, participants work through guided labs: segmenting OT networks, writing detection rules for grid anomalies, running incident response drills, and building recovery runbooks. The capstone is a full utility cyber assessment and hardening plan your team can adapt to its own estate.

Grid and Utility Cybersecurity Course Topics and Program Outline
Six modules take utility teams from grid threat basics through OT security foundations, hands-on hardening labs, and a capstone assessment, ending with a recovery-ready cyber plan.
Built by Edstellar with grid security practitioners
Built by practitioners who secure operational technology and utility control systems in production, shaped around your stack and use cases.
We benchmark your team's grid cyber readiness, OT exposure, and response capability before the program starts.
Teams learn grid architecture, OT protocols, and adversary tactics through instructor-led sessions and demos.
Guided labs harden OT networks, tune detection rules, and drill incident response on simulated utility systems.
The capstone assessment produces a hardening roadmap your team can apply to its real estate right away.
24 hours of hands-on OT security practice your team reuses on the grid.
