CompTIA is inviting experienced practitioners to take the new SecOT+ beta exam, SO1-001.
I had the opportunity to help develop this exam with others in the OT security community. It is designed specifically for OT security, including safety, physical impact, risk management, governance, IT vs. OT differences, compliance, and incident response.
CompTIA is looking for people with hands-on OT experience, including OT Security Engineers, ICS/SCADA Security Engineers, OT Security Architects, Critical Infrastructure Engineers, Site/Plant OT Leads, and similar roles.
If you qualify, take the beta, and pass, you can earn the SecOT+ certification for free. There is also a special incentive if passed by June 26, 2026.
If you take the exam, please DM me any feedback on how to improve it and what you liked.
Beta closes: August 7, 2026
Results expected: December 2026
