Deep Dive
The GICSP sits at the junction where IT security people and control engineers both feel out of their depth - which is precisely what it tests.
IT-side candidates lose marks on the OT floor: PLCs, HMIs, historians, fieldbus and industrial protocols - Modbus, DNP3, EtherNet/IP - and why you cannot just patch or scan a running plant. OT-side candidates lose them on classic security: network segmentation and the Purdue model, hardening, incident response. The exam is open book like all GIAC tests, but its index-dependent questions punish anyone who didn't prepare one.
It's the flagship ICS credential for critical infrastructure roles, and employers pay for it. This PDF has 78 real questions from the actual GICSP.
