Prepare for industrial cybersecurity scenarios across ICS architecture, Purdue levels, endpoint hardening, OT protocols, wireless risks, incident response, and CyberLive labs.
GICSP validates interdisciplinary security knowledge across IT and operational technology environments. GIAC lists 82 questions, 3 hours, a 71% minimum passing score for candidates who receive the exam version released on or after November 19, 2018, and CyberLive hands-on testing.
GICSP preparation should connect control-system architecture, operational constraints, defensive design, governance, and incident response.
GIAC lists 1 proctored exam with 82 questions.
GIAC lists a 3-hour time limit and a 71% minimum passing score for candidates who receive the exam version released on or after November 19, 2018.
GIAC exams are web-based and proctored, with remote ProctorU and onsite PearsonVUE options.
GIAC states candidates have 120 days from certification-attempt activation to complete the attempt.
The certification is vendor-neutral and practitioner-focused, aimed at professionals who engineer, secure, or support control systems. Candidates should understand how safety, uptime, physical processes, and legacy devices change cybersecurity decisions in industrial environments.
GIAC objectives include ICS components, Purdue levels 0 through 3, zones, devices, communications, endpoint hardening, wireless technologies, and control-system attack surfaces. Preparation should make architecture diagrams and protocol behavior easy to recall under timed conditions.
GICSP includes CyberLive hands-on testing, so candidates need more than terminology. Practice should include lawful analysis of ICS-style networks, security controls, incident response choices, and evidence from systems that resemble operational environments.

Yes. GIAC lists GICSP with CyberLive hands-on practical testing.
GIAC identifies ICS IT practitioners, ICS security analysts, security engineers, industry managers and professionals, and vendors as target audiences.
Review assets, roles, Purdue levels, zones, engineering workstations, controllers, historians, HMI systems, and the difference between IT and OT priorities.
Study attack surfaces, threat modeling, segmentation, endpoint hardening, patching, wireless protections, and defensive architecture for control systems.
Work through authorized scenarios that require risk-based recovery, operational coordination, communications analysis, and response decisions that protect safety and uptime.
Track the 120-day GIAC attempt window, complete practice tests early, refine your index, and choose ProctorU or PearsonVUE proctoring.
Use the guide to self-serve, or talk to a coordinator if you need help mapping timelines, official requirements, or troubleshooting day-of logistics.
