SUMMARY:IACS Cybersecurity Design & Implementation (IC34)
DESCRIPTION:Certificate Program: Part of the ISA/IEC 62443 Cybersecurity Certificate Program \nYour course registration includes your registration for the exam. \nUse Coupon code: HOUS2021 to receive discount of $200 off registration.\nDescription: \nThe second phase in the IACS Cybersecurity Lifecycle (defined in ISA 62443-1-1) focuses on the activities associated with the design and implementation of IACS cybersecurity countermeasures. This involves the selection of appropriate countermeasures based upon their security level capability and the nature of the threats and vulnerabilities identified in the Assess phase. This phase also includes cybersecurity acceptance testing of the integrated solution\, in order to validate countermeasures are properly implemented and that the IACS has achieved the target security level. \nThis course will provide students with the information and skills to select and implement cybersecurity countermeasures for a new or existing IACS in order to achieve the target security level assigned to each IACS zone or conduit. Additionally\, students will learn how to develop and execute test plans to verify that the cybersecurity of an IACS solution has properly satisfied the objectives in the cybersecurity requirements specification. \nYou will be able to: \n\nInterpret the results of an ICS cybersecurity risk assessment\nDevelop a cybersecurity requirements specification (CRS)\nDevelop a conceptual design based upon information in a well-crafted CRS\nExplain the security development lifecycle process and deliverables\nPerform a basic firewall configuration and commissioning\nDesign a secure remote access solution\nDevelop system hardening specification\nImplement a basic network intrusion detection system\nDevelop a Cybersecurity Acceptance test plan (CFAT/CSAT)\nPerform a basic CFAT or CSAT\n\nYou Will Cover: \n\nIntroduction to the ICS Cybersecurity Lifecycle\nAssessment phase\nImplementation phase\nMaintenance phase\nConceptual Design Process\nInterpreting risk assessment results\nCybersecurity requirements specifications\nDeveloping a conceptual design\nConceptual design specification\nDetailed Design Process\nSecurity Development Lifecycle (SDL)\nTypes of technology\nSelecting appropriate technology\nDeveloping a detailed design\nDocumenting the design/specification\nDesign & Implementation Examples\nFirewall design example\nRemote access design example\nSystem hardening design example\nIntrusion detection design example\nTesting\nDeveloping test plans\nCybersecurity Factory Acceptance Testing\nCybersecurity Site Acceptance Testing\n\nClassroom/Laboratory Exercises: \n\nDevelop a Physical & Cybersecurity Plan\nConfigure a Perimeter Firewall\nConfigure an ICS Firewall\nInstall and use SNORT!\nConfigure Windows Local Group Policy Objects\nInstall MS Security Compliance Manager (SCM)\nConduct ICS Device Hardening\nConduct Network Device Hardening\nUse a Domain Controller\nConfigure a VPN Connection\nConduct Security Configuration Auditing\nConduct System Robustness Testing\n\nWho Should Attend: \n\nControl systems engineers and managers\nSystem Integrators\nIT engineers and managers industrial facilities\nPlant managers\nPlant Safety and Risk Management\n\nRecommended Pre-Requisites: \nISA Courses IC32 and IC33 or equivalent knowledge/experience. \nRecommended Reading: \nCybersecurity Library
