The first phase in the IACS Cybersecurity Lifecycle 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.

About this course:
This course reviews the knowledge and skills areas included on the CSE Professional Engineer (PE) examination. This course prepares engineers with a minimum of four years of experience to take the CSE PE exam by providing instruction on the broad range of technical areas that will be tested. The exams are produced by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) and administered by US state professional license boards. EN00 course content is based on the CSE exam specification that went into effect in October 2019. Contact NCEES to schedule your exam.

Due to decoupling the PE Exam from the experience requirement, an EIT may take the PE Exam before applying for licensure or earning the required four years of experience. The only requirement to be eligible is to be a Texas EIT. If you aren’t an EIT, PELS encourages you to register for your EIT using the Online EIT application. It streamlines the EIT application process and allows for online payments.

Please use the ISA Houston promo code “HOUS2026” when registering.
