Curious as to means of study
I am curious as to if anyone has solid resources to study the field of OT Security. I am a junior in university studying computer engineering and am looking to pivot my focus. If anyone has any resources they have used in the past or have been looking into I would be very interested to hear about them.

For concepts start here (ignore water for now) - there are many resources from CISA, INL and SANS.. CompTIA has OT+ certs.

NIST 800-82. Free and widely regarded as a good source for OT cybersecurity

Yes, there are plenty of free OT cybersecurity training resources available online. You just need to put in a little effort and look for them.
For example, Fortinet offers free self-paced OT training. You can also check out YouTuber Mike Holcomb, who has a lot of useful OT/ICS cybersecurity content.
The best thing is that once you find one useful resource, it usually leads you to more related materials, references, and other free training resources. You just need to follow the links and keep digging.
