New Dragos Academy to Strengthen the Industrial Community’s Cybersecurity Skills and Help Close the IT-OT Skills Gap
Summary: Dragos announced Dragos Academy on December 7, 2021, a training program for its customers and partners combining on-demand learning paths with in-person courses at training centers in the US, Australia, and Dubai. The company cited a Ponemon Institute survey of over 17,000 IT, IT security and OT security leaders, sponsored by Dragos, in which 40 percent of organizations listed OT and ICS cybersecurity training among their top three investment priorities for 2021.
Key Takeaway: Forty percent of organizations named OT and ICS training a top-three investment priority, yet the gap Dragos describes runs both ways - IT staff who don't understand industrial environments and OT engineers who don't know how to secure systems connected to IT networks.
