Project Charter

A project charter is a formal document that summarizes the project's goals and intended results. It also serves as the official go-ahead for the project and grants the team, typically the project manager, the authority to begin work.

Key Points

  • Issued early by a sponsor or approving authority to start the project.
  • Captures purpose, high-level scope, success criteria, budget, and major milestones.
  • Names the project manager and defines their level of authority and responsibility.
  • Identifies key stakeholders and links the project to the business case or strategic need.

Example

A company approves a charter to implement a new customer portal: it states the objective to reduce support calls by 20% in 9 months, lists high-level features, allocates a budget, names Jordan as the project manager with authority to use cross-functional resources, and authorizes the team to start planning.

ICS/OT Cybersecurity Fundamentals — Security Built for Industrial Systems

Industrial control systems cannot be secured like ordinary IT. A forced reboot, aggressive scan, or incompatible patch can interrupt production and create real safety consequences. Effective OT security begins with understanding the systems, constraints, and risks unique to industrial environments.

This course gives IT professionals, engineers, operators, and security practitioners a practical foundation in ICS threats, zone and conduit design, risk assessment, passive asset visibility, and vendor evaluation. You will learn how IEC 62443, NIST CSF, and MITRE ATT&CK for ICS apply where availability and safety come first.

Eight reconstructed incidents—including Stuxnet, Triton, Ukraine 2015, Colonial Pipeline, and PIPEDREAM—show how attackers move through OT environments, what they target, and which defenses could have changed the outcome.

Watch the course preview, then build the vocabulary, frameworks, and judgment needed to take credible first steps in ICS/OT cybersecurity.

Build an ICS/OT cybersecurity foundation that fits the real environment

Standard IT controls can disrupt the industrial systems they are meant to protect. Learn how to assess OT risk, design zones and conduits, apply IEC 62443 security levels, use MITRE ATT&CK for ICS, and establish passive asset visibility without risking production. Eight reconstructed incidents connect attacker techniques to the controls that failed, giving you the vocabulary and judgment to make credible security decisions from day one.
