IC37 EN 2v00 – Operation and Maintenance of Cybersecurity in Industrial Systems.

The third phase in the IACS Cybersecurity Lifecycle (defined in ISA/IEC 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 every changing threat environment.

Recommended Pre-Requisites:

ISA Courses TS06, TS12, TS20, IC32, IC33 and IC34 or equivalent knowledge/experience.

The main objectives of ISA training is to make sure that the audience understands and interprets the requirements of the ISA/IEC-62443 series of standards correctly and what needs to be done.

While the exercises and products used in the lab helps to understand the concepts, it is not within the objectives of ISA to recommend any specific solution or to show how to comply with the multiple requirements.
