Industrial Automation Control System (IACS) Cybersecurity Design & Implementation (IC34) focuses on the activities associated with the design and implementation of IACS cybersecurity countermeasures. This includes the selection of appropriate countermeasures based upon their security level capability and the nature of the threats and vulnerabilities identified in the assess phase. The access phase includes cybersecurity acceptance testing of the integrated solution to validate that countermeasures are properly implemented and the IACS has achieved the target security level.
Students will learn 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 the cybersecurity of an IACS solution has properly satisfied the objectives in the cybersecurity requirements specification.
Prerequisite
Successful completion of Using the ISA/IEC 62443 Standards to Secure Your Control Systems (IC32) and passing the ISA/IEC 62443 Cybersecurity Fundamentals Specialist certificate exam are mandatory prerequisites for this course.
