  In today’s interconnected world, the gap between information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) is rapidly shrinking. This convergence increases the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to cyber threats. The Global Industrial Cyber Security Professional ( GICSP ) certification is designed to validate professionals who understand both the security and operational aspects of industrial control systems (ICS). Administered by GIAC (Global Information Assurance Certification), the GICSP certification equips individuals with the knowledge to protect critical industrial environments like energy, water, transportation, and manufacturing systems. Why GICSP Certification Matters With high-profile cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure making headlines, there’s an increasing demand for experts who understand the nuances of securing industrial control systems. Here’s why the GICSP certification is more relevant than ever: Bridges the IT-OT Gap : GICSP-certified professio...

  The GICSP Certification (Global Industrial Cyber Security Professional) is one of the most recognized and specialized credentials for professionals working at the intersection of cybersecurity and industrial control systems (ICS). Jointly developed by GIAC and SANS Institute, GICSP is uniquely tailored to bridge the knowledge gap between IT security and operational technology (OT). With the increasing threats to critical infrastructure and SCADA systems, the demand for certified ICS security professionals has skyrocketed. GICSP provides validation of the skills necessary to design, implement, and manage secure ICS systems across multiple industries. In this blog, we’ll explore everything you need to know about the GICSP Certification —its importance, eligibility, exam details, preparation tips, benefits, and career prospects. Why GICSP Certification Matters in 2025 In today’s digital landscape, critical infrastructure such as energy grids, water systems, oil pipelines, and man...
