**Sugar Land, Texas (July 2, 2020)** — ThreatGEN, an operational technology (OT) security firm, releases its second video in its Red vs. Blue Academy OT security educational series entitled "[OT/ICS Cybersecurity Kill Chain, Technical Demo](https://youtu.be/9fHNyw5iJQY)". In this video, Pascal Ackerman demonstrates an OT/ICS cybersecurity attack on a control system, from start to finish, through the entire ICS Cybersecurity Kill Chain. While this is an in-depth technical demo, no technical experience or knowledge is required to understand it.
Pascal Ackerman, Director of the ThreatGEN OT Security Services division and author of multiple books, including "[Industrial Cybersecurity: Efficiently secure critical infrastructure systems](https://www.youtube.com/redirect?redir_token=wt4gm-R8mXyVoYyBtKDZSHX9W0Z8MTU5MTIzNTg3OUAxNTkxMTQ5NDc5&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2F1788395158%2F&event=video_description&v=RqN1zIWLqT0)" and "[Modern Cybersecurity Practices: Exploring And Implementing Agile Cybersecurity Frameworks and Strategies for Your Organization](https://www.youtube.com/redirect?redir_token=wt4gm-R8mXyVoYyBtKDZSHX9W0Z8MTU5MTIzNTg3OUAxNTkxMTQ5NDc5&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB087X8BP4V%2F&event=video_description&v=RqN1zIWLqT0)" explains the new video, "*You will be able to follow along with all the steps and techniques involved with compromising an ICS environment, from the Enterprise network down, leveraging a initial foothold by sending a booby-trapped word document that ultimately allows the attacker to manipulate the production process and accomplish the ultimate goal of the ICS cyber attack, disruption of a critical control system.*"
**Why does ThreatGEN teach adversarial methods such as these?** Our entire Red vs. Blue philosophy is centered around the premise that in order to formulate a targeted and efficient cyber defense (which also often means cost-effective), you need to understand your adversaries' methods and strategies.
