Program Overview

Operations technology (OT) cybersecurity requires skills and knowledge that aren’t used in information technology (IT) cybersecurity. As a graduate of Ontario's first college program to focus specifically on OT cybersecurity, you'll stand out by knowing how to protect systems and networks used in healthcare, military, government, manufacturing and other vital sectors.


Through lectures, discussions and case studies, you’ll learn how to integrate cybersecurity with OT, Industrial Control Systems, AI edge devices, smart manufacturing, Industrial Internet of Things and more. You’ll then apply that theory through simulations, labs and group projects. A capstone project and mandatory work-integrated learning experience (co-op work term or workplace simulation*) can help you develop read world experience and industry contacts.

 

Flexible learning and multiple pathways

This program is designed to suit diverse learning needs and career goals. Most courses are available online or in person to provide maximum flexibility and accessibility.

 

Expert faculty and advanced technology

  • IoT sensors and equipment
  • data simulations
  • intrusion detection software such as Snort and Security Onion
  • vulnerability assessment
  • patch management
