Who this book is for

This book started out as purely a manual for industrial pentesting and in doing so it was aimed at people who wanted learn about industrial pentesting; however, it grew into more of a convergence effort because I had numerous people ask me about getting into the Operational Technology (OT) security space, I figured that I would try and cover topics that addressed both sides of the convergence the OT and IT personas. IT security personnel who want a hands-on introduction to industrial pentesting will learn about the automation and controls aspect of industrial pentesting, while automation/control engineers who want to better understand their potential threat landscape will learn more about the IT networking aspects.
