Why I'm Specialising in OT/ICS Cybersecurity
The case for focusing on industrial control system security — why this niche matters, what drew me to it, and how I'm building toward a career in critical infrastructure protection.

Designing and deploying a virtualized industrial control system lab to simulate SCADA environments, test attack scenarios, and practice OT network defense.
A deep dive into the Modbus protocol — how it works, why it's still everywhere in industrial environments, and why its lack of security is a critical concern.
An exploration of the IEC 62443 standard for industrial automation security — how it structures security requirements, and how its zone and conduit model applies to practical OT architectures.
Deploying Zeek and Suricata to monitor OT network traffic and detect anomalies in Modbus, DNP3, and S7comm industrial protocols.
