The third phase in the IACS Cybersecurity Lifecycle (defined in ISA 62443-1-1) focuses on the activities associated with the ongoing operations and maintenance of IACS cybersecurity. This involves network diagnostics and troubleshooting, security monitoring and incident response, and maintenance of cybersecurity countermeasures implemented in the Design & Implementation phase. This phase also includes security management of change, backup, and recovery procedures and periodic cybersecurity audits.
This course will provide students with the information and skills to detect and troubleshoot potential cybersecurity events as well as the skills to maintain the security level of an operating system throughout its lifecycle despite the challenges of an ever-changing threat environment.
You will be able to:

Perform basic network diagnostics and troubleshooting
Interpret the results of IACS device diagnostic alarms and event logs

Professional Engineering (PE) Study Group for the Control Systems Exam (CSE)
2019-08-21 18:00 - 20:00 | Wood – Thoroughbred Building, 17420 Katy Freeway, Houston, TX 77094 United States, Houston, TX, 77094, United States
For seven years, in the ten (10) weeks leading up to the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam for Control Systems Engineering (CSE), the ISA Houston Section has offered to help members prepare for the exam by hosting weekly study group sessions at a convenient local venue. In this eighth year of the initiative, Wood has been kind enough to host the sessions at their Thoroughbred building in the Energy Corridor.
With a participant success rate of ~80%, the study sessions are a valuable tool in the licensing process since the NCEES board does not have any official study material for the CSE PE exam (http://ncees.org/exams/exam-preparation-materials/exam-prep-materials/)
