Why Choose this Training Course

This is a 4-day ISA/IEC 62443 Cybersecurity Fundamentals Specialist training course.

The ISA/IEC 62443 standards define requirements and procedures for implementing electronically secure automation and control systems and security practices, and assessing electronic security performance. The cybersecurity standards, and the resulting training, certification, and certificate programs, cover the complete lifecycle of cybersecurity protection. Developed by a cross-section of international cybersecurity subject-matter experts from industry, government, and academia, the evolving standards represent a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity, bridging the gap between operations technology and information technology.

COVID-19 is Spreading More than just One Kind of Virus. Hackers have set up ‘coronavirus map’ websites containing malware to steal information from companies. Coronavirus-themed malicious emails targeting users in Japan, Italy, and other parts of the world have been spreading a variety of malware. Hence it is more than crucial to attend courses.

The move to using open standards such as Ethernet, TCP/IP, and web technologies in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and process control networks has begun to expose these systems to the same cyberattacks that have wreaked so much havoc on corporate information systems. This ISA/IEC 62443 Cybersecurity Fundamentals Specialist course provides a detailed look at how the ANSI/ISA99 standards can be used to protect your critical control systems. It also explores the procedural and technical differences between the security for traditional IT environments and those solutions appropriate for SCADA or plant floor environments.

Who Should Attend

This new ISA/IEC 62443 Cybersecurity Fundamentals Specialist certificate program is designed for professionals involved in IT and control system security roles that need to develop a command of industrial cybersecurity terminology and understanding of the material embedded in the ISA99 standards.

ISA/IEC 62443 Cybersecurity certificates are awarded to those who successfully complete a designated Cybersecurity IEC 62443 training program and pass a multiple choice exam.
