Module 1

Introduction to industrial cybersecurity environments

In module 1, you will get to know what an OT environment is and what is included in addition to what it underpins in our society. You will gain an understanding of important differences between IT and OT environments in terms of security. You will become familiar with what threat actors typically do and attack in OT environments during a review of real incidents.

Module 2

Security management, risk and compliance for IACS

In Module 2, you will be introduced to typical frameworks used in OT environments, and specific to the industry you work in. Here we will take a deep dive into the IEC62443 standard, focusing on safety management, supplier requirements, risk assessment and technical requirements, respectively the 2-1, 2-4, 3-2 and 3-3 parts of IEC62443. This will give you the tools to improve safety in your business whether you are the owner, operator or supplier of a plant. You will get to know the different stakeholders in OT environments from a lifecycle perspective, giving you the tools you need to apply the standard in your daily work.

Security policies, roles and responsibilities
Security and maturity levels
Resource inventory and configuration management
Compliance monitoring and audit readiness

Module 3

IACS security architecture and network defense

In module 3, we give you the tools to work towards a safe and robust design, whether you are in the greenfield or brownfield phase. This is linked to the parts of IEC62443 mentioned above. In addition, we go through both pitfalls and opportunities.
