"Edstellar's virtual OT training transformed how our team manages industrial systems. Our OT engineers and IT/OT integration architects completed the program in just four weeks, gaining deep knowledge of ICS architectures and SCADA operations. We saw a 35% improvement in OT network visibility and reduced unplanned downtime by 28% within three months of completing the training. The virtual format was highly flexible and the instructors brought real-world industrial expertise."
Rajiv Mehta
OT/IT Integration Manager,
A Global Energy Infrastructure Company
"We partnered with Edstellar for onsite OT training across two of our manufacturing facilities. Twenty-two plant engineers and SCADA operators completed the five-day program, focusing on OT network segmentation and industrial protocol configuration. After implementing the recommended segmentation architecture, we reduced OT security incidents by 42% and improved our audit readiness score by 30 percentage points. Edstellar's practical approach made a measurable difference."
Sarah Lindqvist
Plant Operations Director,
A Global Industrial Manufacturing Group
"Edstellar's intensive off-site OT security training was a turning point for our organization. Our security team of eighteen completed the six-day program focused on IEC 62443 compliance and OT incident response. Within two months, we achieved IEC 62443 Level 2 readiness across all operational zones and passed our first independent compliance assessment with zero critical findings. The depth of content and expert facilitation made this the highest-value training our OT security team has received."
