CyberOT Lab joins the AIS3 2026 main summer course as an instructor

The AIS3 2026 hands-on summer cybersecurity course, organised by Taiwan’s Ministry of Education cybersecurity talent cultivation programme, ran from 20 to 26 July 2026 at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University. CyberOT Lab taught the main course session on 22 July.

What happened in the classroom

The session was led by CyberOT Lab’s CK Lin, opening with threat modeling: framed as “planning a campus treasure heist”, students practised finding weaknesses from the attacker’s perspective and building a complete threat model with the STRIDE methodology.

The course also included a hands-on ICS Cracker lab, where students worked through an industrial security testing workflow on real lab machines — turning industrial protocols, control equipment, and attack scenarios from slides into something they could actually operate.

After the session, the organiser presented a certificate of appreciation for CyberOT Lab’s contribution to this year’s course.

Why this belongs in the newsroom

AIS3 is not a routine marketing event. It is one of the better-known training pipelines in Taiwan’s security community. Having OT / industrial cybersecurity represented in the main course reflects that these topics are no longer niche concerns limited to product vendors or certification projects; they are part of the practical security skills people need to learn.

For CyberOT Lab, that is consistent with how we work: turning real protocol behaviour, equipment constraints, verification processes, and attack scenarios into material that can actually be taught and practiced.
