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.
