SUMMARY:Using the ISA/IEC 62443 Standards to Secure Your Control Systems (IC32)
DESCRIPTION:Certification of Completion: A Certificate of Completion indicating the total number of CEUs earned will be provided upon successful completion of the course. \nCertificate Program: Part of the ISA/IEC 62443 Cybersecurity Certificate Program \nYour course registration includes your registration for the exam. \nDescription: \nThe 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 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. \nYou will be able to: \n\nDiscuss the principles behind creating an effective long term program security\nInterpret the ISA/IEC 62443 industrial security framework and apply them to your operation\nDefine the basics of risk and vulnerability analysis methodologies\nDescribe the principles of security policy development\nExplain the concepts of defense in depth and zone/conduit models of security\nAnalyze the current trends in industrial security incidents and methods hackers use to attack a system\nDefine the principles behind the key risk mitigation techniques\, including anti-virus and patch management\, firewalls\, and virtual private networks\n\nYou will cover: \n\nUnderstanding the Current Industrial Security Environment: What is Electronic Security for Industrial Automation and Control Systems? | How IT and the Plant Floor are Different and How They are the Same\nHow Cyberattacks Happen: Understanding the Threat Sources | The Steps to Successful Cyberattacks\nCreating A Security Program:  Critical Factors for Success/Understanding the ANSI/ISA-62443-2-1 (ANSI/ISA-99.02.01-2009)- Security for Industrial Automation and Control Systems: Establishing an Industrial Automation and Control Systems Security Program\nRisk Analysis:  Business Rationale | Risk Identification\, Classification\, and Assessment\nAddressing Risk with Security Policy\, Organization\, and Awareness: Cyber Security Management System Scope | Organizational Security | Staff Training and Security Awareness\nAddressing Risk with Selected Security Counter Measures: Personnel Security | Physical and Environmental Security | Network Segmentation | Access Control\nAddressing Risk with Implementation Measures: Risk Management and Implementation | System Development and Maintenance | Information and Document Management\nMonitoring and Improving the CSMS: Compliance and Review | Improve and Maintain the CSMS\nValidating or Verifying the Security of Systems: What is being done? | Developing Secure Products and Systems\n\nClassroom/Laboratory Demo: \n\nPCAP Live Capture Analysis\n\nIncludes ISA Standards: \n\nANSI/ISA-62443-1-1 (ANSI/ISA-99.00.01-2007)\, Security for Industrial Automation and Control Systems Part 1: Terminology\, Concepts & Models\nANSI/ISA-62443-2-1 (ANSI/ISA-99.02.01-2009)\, Security for Industrial Automation and Control Systems: Establishing an Industrial Automation and Control Systems Security Program\nANSI/ISA-62443-3-3\, Security for industrial automation and control systems: System security requirements and security levels\n\nRecommended Pre-Requisites: \nThere are no required prerequisites for taking this course; however\, it is highly recommended that applicants have at least one to three years of experience in the cybersecurity field with some experience in an industrial setting. \nISA Courses: TS06\, TS12\, or equivalent knowledge/experience would be beneficial. \nNote from the Instructor: One of the challenges I have had in teaching IC32 is students attending without any or limited knowledge of TS04\, TS06\, TS12 or cybersecurity general principles. IC32 is a 14-hour boot camp style class and there is not a lot of time to teach basic comms and cybersecurity. \nRecommended reading in preparation for course: \nCybersecurity Library \nWhich Security Level (SL) would have been required to prevent the attack? \nNot sure this particular course is for you? \nA pre-instructional survey is available for you to evaluate your level of understanding of the course material and to show you the types of questions you’ll be able to answer after completing the course.
