CISObeat Academy is a Spanish-language training platform focused on industrial cybersecurity and OT, positioned around critical infrastructure scenarios in Latin America. Its core value proposition is not general cybersecurity training, but OT security education “based on real industrial operations experience,” aimed at roles in power, energy, industrial control, and other critical infrastructure sectors.
The course focus is highly vertical, covering industrial cybersecurity, OT security, and ISA/IEC 62443-related learning paths. The site mentions courses from foundation to Expert level, including a free fundamentals course, advanced IC32, IC33, IC34, and IC37 content, as well as a bundled “Ruta al Expert” pathway. The teaching language is clearly Spanish, making it friendly for Latin American professionals, but relatively challenging for Chinese learners.
The instructor background is presented in fairly strong detail. Ernesto Landa, the figure behind the platform, holds an ISA/IEC 62443 Cybersecurity Expert credential, has 19 years of experience in critical infrastructure, and previously served for 10 years as CISO of a major energy operator in Peru. He is also the founder of the CISOBeat community, which reaches 11,000+ professionals across Latin America. This background aligns well with the platform’s positioning.
At present, the website mainly encourages users to join a waitlist, promising early access, launch pricing, and exclusive content when it opens. On pricing, only a “free fundamentals course” is clearly mentioned; paid course prices, package pricing, course duration, and refund policies are not disclosed. The delivery format is also unclear—whether live, recorded, or one-on-one. As for certificates, the site only mentions the Expert path and does not clearly state whether it issues a platform certificate or an official certification.
The strengths are its clear positioning, realistic industrial OT scenarios, strong instructor credentials, and Spanish-language service for the Latin American market, helping fill part of the demand for non-English OT security training. The drawbacks are the current lack of disclosed information: the courses do not appear to be fully open yet, and users cannot assess course depth, learning experience, lab environment, community Q&A, or the practical value of any certification.
It is best suited to automation engineers, OT technicians, CISOs, industrial security managers, and related instructors in Latin America. For Chinese users who want to study ICS security systematically, it may serve as a Spanish-language supplementary resource. However, if Chinese-language instruction, local payment options, China-specific compliance cases, or immediately available courses are required, SANS ICS, ISA official training, Dragos Academy, Claroty Academy, and domestic ICS security training providers may be more direct options. The source text does not provide information on access or payment from China, so this remains unknown.
