From IC design files and photomask processes to machine recipes and legacy equipment that cannot be updated freely, the cybersecurity risks facing the semiconductor industry are very different from those of an ordinary corporate IT environment. When ransomware, APT (advanced persistent threat) attacks or unpatched vulnerabilities enter a fab, the consequences may go beyond data leaks to abnormal machines, production-line shutdowns and operational impact. This course goes from the "threat landscape" all the way to "OT on-site defense," helping participants rethink that what a fab needs is not just IT security, but a defense mindset that truly understands OT environments, capacity requirements and equipment constraints.
