Description:

The first phase in the IACS Cybersecurity Lifecycle (defined in ISA 62443-1-1) is to identify and document IACS assets and perform a cybersecurity vulnerability and risk assessment in order to identify and understand the high-risk vulnerabilities that require mitigation. Per ISA 62443-2-1 these assessments need to be performed on both new (i.e. greenfield) and existing (i.e. brownfield) applications. Part of the assessment process involves developing a zone and conduit model of the system, identifying security level targets, and documenting the cybersecurity requirements into a cybersecurity requirements specification (CRS).

This course will provide students with the information and skills to assess the cybersecurity of a new or existing IACS and to develop a cybersecurity requirements specification that can be used to document the cybersecurity requirements the project.

You Will Be Able to:

  • Identify and document the scope of the IACS under assessment
  • Specify, gather or generate the cybersecurity information required to perform the assessment
  • Identify or discover cybersecurity vulnerabilities inherent in the IACS products or system design
  • Organize and facilitate a cybersecurity risk assessment for an IACS
  • Identify and evaluate realistic threat scenarios
  • Identify gaps in existing policies, procedures and standards
  • Establish and document security zones and conduits
  • Prepare documentation of assessment results

You Will Cover:

  • Preparing for an Assessment
  • Cybersecurity Vulnerability Assessment
  • Conducting Vulnerability Assessments
