IT Certification Overview

This 4-day course provides a comprehensive introduction to the ISA/IEC 62443 standards, focusing on the management perspective for securing industrial automation and control systems (IACS). Participants will gain a solid understanding of the key concepts, structures, and applicability of the standard, and learn how to establish and implement an effective IACS security programme. Covering both foundational knowledge and practical application, the course aligns with ISO/IEC 27001 principles and addresses specific considerations for industrial environments, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, and industrial networks. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to lead or contribute to the development of a security programme that enhances resilience in critical infrastructure and industrial operations.
