Summary

Participating in this 5 day training course will enhance the skill set of those involved to fulfill their responsibilities and undertake activities in compliance with industry recognized security standards such as the IEC 62443, to: 

  • Reduce the risk of a successful cyber attack
  • Satisfy legal and regulatory requirements 
  • Meet the organisation’s system cybersecurity and business objectives

Participants will understand:

  • The principles and concepts as provided within the international agreed standard IEC 62443 
  • The concepts and principles behind international standards and guidelines that cover the area of cyber security and how and when to apply them including:
    • Security Risk Assessment (SRA) - IEC 61511-1, ISA TR84.00.09 & IEC 62443
    • Cybersecurity Management System (CSMS) - IEC 62443
    • Information Security Management System (ISMS) - ISO 27000 series
    • Overview of ICS Threats & Vulnerabilities - NIST SP 800 Series
    • Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)
    • EU Directive on Network and Information Systems (NIS2).
  • The IACS cybersecurity lifecycle and the key roles and responsibilities
  • Security risk assessment and the interface with security requirements specification
  • The IEC 62443 foundational requirements’ countermeasures & their implementation
  • High-level and low-level design requirements
  • Cybersecurity verification and validation requirements
  • The requirements for cybersecurity documents in order to demonstrate conformance

Course objectives:

The objective of this course is to provide participants with a fundamental understanding of the requirements of IACS Cybersecurity design and implementation with respect to the security measures identified in IEC 62443 and to understand:

  • The role and the process of Security Risk Assessment (SRA) in gaining an understanding of the security risks and required foundational requirement security measures
  • The relationship between Security Level (SL)-T and Cybersecurity Requirements Specification (CRS) to the design and implementation of security countermeasures that achieve the security requirements needed of the determined SL
  • How those security measures / countermeasures should be implemented, verified and validated
  • The importance of Cybersecurity Lifecyle Management to gain and maintain SL

The course includes practical case studies that will be developed by candidates across the four days of the training course taking the delegate through the IEC 62443 design and implementation process. The course follows a modular structure and is typically delivered as a tutor led classroom session with case studies.

Duration
The duration is 5 days consisting of 4 days of tuition with optional examinations on the 5th day.
