SECOT+ PRACTICE HUB · SOT-001 v1.3-draft
Study the domain. Practice the decision.
An independent OT-Praxis content and conversion hub for people preparing to secure operational technology—through real Meridian incidents, not brain dumps.
Draft-objective crosswalk only. OT-Praxis is not authorized, endorsed, or affiliated with CompTIA, and this hub does not reproduce exam questions or predict a pass result.
MERIDIAN / R8Communication warning
Production buffer is declining. Your first move is evidence discipline, not a restart.
Same canonical runtime · different content lens
The draft map
Six domains. One industrial world.
Objective IDs and paraphrased labels are stored as versioned structured data so a future draft can be reviewed, compared, and retired without silently changing learner records.
1.0
OT Systems and Safety Foundations
Understand the systems, process constraints, safety practices, and physical consequences that make OT different from conventional IT.
2.0OT Risk Management
Frame risk around safety, availability, reliability, people, process, and the consequences of change.
3.0OT Threat Intelligence
Interpret OT-relevant adversaries, techniques, indicators, intelligence sources, and supply-chain signals.
4.0OT Cybersecurity Architecture, Design, and Engineering
Design defensible zones, conduits, access paths, monitoring, and compensating controls without losing the process.
5.0OT Security Operations
Operate the day-to-day controls: visibility, monitoring, maintenance, vulnerability handling, logging, and change discipline.
6.0OT Incident Management
Coordinate detection, containment, recovery, communication, and lessons learned while preserving safety and production context.
Coverage, honestly stated
Readiness is a map—not a prediction.
Crosswalks connect existing OT-Praxis scenarios to capability areas and call out what is not yet covered. A gap is a product and curriculum signal, not a reason to invent content.
Current boundary: OT-Praxis measures observable decisions in its own simulation. It does not claim that completing Meridian proves exam readiness, plant experience, or a certification.
Free practical scenario
Start with the incident, not the question bank.
A Robotics R8 cell develops communication symptoms while production buffer declines. Investigate before you authorize a consequential action.
