Prepare for active defense in ICS environments, industrial network monitoring, asset visibility, detection, threat hunting, ICS-focused DFIR, incident response, malware analysis, and threat intelligence.
GRID validates active defense strategies for industrial control system networks and operational technology environments. GIAC lists 75 questions, 2 hours, and a 74% minimum passing score.
GRID preparation should connect ICS architecture, operational constraints, network monitoring, forensic evidence, response decisions, and threat-informed defense.
GIAC lists 1 proctored exam with 75 questions.
GIAC lists a 2-hour time limit and a 74% minimum passing score.
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.
GIAC describes GRID for professionals who need to demonstrate active defense strategies specific to ICS networks and systems. Candidates should understand how known ICS attack patterns inform detection, mitigation, and response decisions.
The exam objectives include ICS network security evidence, monitoring specific to ICS protocols and environments, asset visibility, and ICS-focused incident response. Preparation should account for safety, uptime, legacy devices, and protocol context.
GRID covers threat hunting, threat analysis, threat intelligence, malware analysis techniques, and DFIR in ICS environments. Strong preparation links technical indicators to process impact and defensible response actions.

GRID validates the ability to apply active defense strategies that are specific to industrial control system networks and operational technology environments. GIAC lists 1 proctored exam, 75 questions, 2 hours, and a 74% minimum passing score. The objectives cover active defense in ICS environments, detection and network security evidence analysis, ICS-focused incident response, ICS-focused monitoring, threat hunting and analysis, threat intelligence, visibility, and asset awareness. HiraEdu helps candidates prepare with lawful ICS defense labs, architecture and monitoring review, DFIR workflow practice, objective mapping, practice-test analysis, index strategy, and GIAC proctoring logistics.
GIAC lists 75 questions for the current GRID exam.
GIAC lists a 2-hour time limit.
GIAC lists a 74% minimum passing score.
GIAC lists active defense, detection, monitoring, incident response, threat hunting, threat intelligence, visibility, and asset awareness in ICS environments.
GIAC identifies ICS incident response teams, OT security personnel, IT security professionals, SOC leads and analysts, ICS red teamers, penetration testers, and active defenders as target audiences.
Review ICS zones, key assets, protocol visibility, asset discovery, network baselines, engineering workflows, and operational constraints.
Use authorized scenarios to analyze ICS network evidence, alerts, traffic patterns, discovery data, and threat-hunting hypotheses.
Study ICS-focused DFIR, incident response coordination, malware-analysis context, threat intelligence, and mitigation choices that respect operational safety.
Track the 120-day activation 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.
