Description

 

A detailed look at how the ISA/IEC 62443 (formerly ISA 99) 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.  The course explores the move to using open standards such as Ethernet, TCP/IP, and web technologies in SCADA and process control networks that has begun to expose these systems to the same cyber-attacks that have wreaked so much havoc on global government and corporate information systems.

 

You will be able to:

  • Discuss the need and importance for control system security
  • Learn about current principles and best practices
  • Understand the structure and content of the ISA 99 / IEC 62443 series of documents
  • Discuss the principles behind the creating an effective long term program security
  • Learn the basics of risk analysis, industrial networking and network security
  • Understand the concepts of defense in depth and zones and conduits
  • Learn how to apply key risk mitigation techniques such as anti-virus, patch management, firewalls and virtual private networks
  • Learn how secure software development strategies can make systems inherently more secure
  • Learn what is being done to validate or verify the security of systems
