That’s where the GICSP certification comes into play. GICSP stands for Global Industrial Cyber Security Professional, a powerful credential that bridges the gap between IT security and operational technology (OT). It’s a gold mine for professionals working with Industrial Control Systems (ICS) who want to beef up their cyber chops.
