Introduce the necessary modifications by design into the IACS/SUC and eventually the plant, and implement effective and efficient countermeasures to prevent potential consequences for happening. Perform cybersecurity acceptance tests that meet the requirements of the previous assessment phase.

This program has been designed and developed by WisePlant Group in cooperation with ARPEL, specially tailored (but not limited to) companies in the energy, oil and gas sector. Visit ARPEL to know more about the organization.

Lear how to understand and interpret the results of the Cyber ​​Risk Assessment (ASSESSMENT) and to harmonize with other popular regulations, such as, NIST, NERC, TSA, C2M2, INGAA, and many more, prioritizing and focusing on what is important.

With the results of the risk assessment, you are going to learn a proven methodology influencing the design of the systems under consideration (SuC) and the design of the plant (AuC) to create operations resilient to any type of threats in a long-term basis.

Redesign existing systems under consideration (SuC), modify the industrial process and the plant installations when necessary (AuC), and redesign the governance of the plant only with those initiatives that are effective, efficient and sufficient, without wasting valuable resources and time or over-spending on unnecessary projects.

Design new future systems from the very beginning before these arrive to the plant, making sure that the systems under consideration (SuC) are operated outside of cybersecurity risk from Plant Start-Up on day one. At the same time, improve the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of the system by extending the life of the system and the life of the plant.

Define the optimal architecture, design the incorporation of necessary changes because of the detailed risk analysis. Make sure that every zone and conduit meets the security requirements (Secure By Design), and chose the appropriate controls to verify that the requirements are being met by harmonizing correctly.

Visualize, monitor, and manage the progress of cybersecurity for each zone and conduit as the recommendations are incorporated. It is highly recommended that you also take de EN99 training courses as this is specially related to incident management, response and recover.

Visualize how the current security level (SLA) will approach the target security level (SLT). Preparation of industrial cybersecurity specifications (CSRS) for zones and conduits. Prioritize the implementation of security recommendations based on the greatest contribution to risk reduction, cost, effort, Security Level Capability, etc.

Even if you operate the system below risk tolerance, you can create policies to monitor and supervise incidents of remaining tolerable risks. Prepare the organization for continuous improvement at a minimal investment knowingly that consequences are not possible from happening, and even cyber-incidents may finally happen.

Define and configure the appropriate cybersecurity policies for each zone and conduit, necessary for the next stage of monitoring and maintenance (MAINTENANCE). Test and transfer the changes with good training to grant a safe and secure operation and no surprises.

Crash Course, Practical and Effective!

To ensure an adequate and maximum transfer of knowledge, it is necessary to access certified instructors who have the extensive knowledge and experience, making good use of international standards, regulations, and without vices.

One of the most important objectives to be achieved by the attendees at EN61, is to introduce the necessary modification by design to ensure the mitigation of every intolerable risk, to eliminate any change of danger or damage, to effectively, efficiently and sufficiently mitigate industrial cybersecurity risk, while optimizing time and resources.

You will learn a proven practical methodology to fully comply with ISA/IEC-62443 series of standards and harmonize with popular regulations with easy, and no hassle, that everyone can understand and follow. This course will be held entirely, virtually prerecorded for on-demand, in English at the student own pace.

The course slides and recordings will be available in English within the educational platform. Participants will have access to the course material for an indefinite period of time (minimum one year) with access to a wealth of complementary information.

At the end of the course and as a last activity, the participants will individually carry out an evaluation to obtain the corresponding certificate.

Modality and Schedules

After processing the subscription, the participants will receive the Syllabus by email and additional timely instructions.

A Q&A session to participate in group with the instructor is available. You can also request one-to-one sessions with the instructor to receive personal professional guidance at no additional charge, even after the training event period has ended.

On-Demand with audio and video on the WiseCourses Academic Campus. It contains a practice exam at the end of the training event that will be taken online within our Educational Campus.

The training material is not downloadable. Access to the training material is granted for one year, which can be extended upon request. Participants must have at least one computer and Internet access with a good quality connection (a bandwidth of at least 1 MB).

Important: While, the training event takes place within a certain period of time, the student can complete the training before or after the specific period. Group sessions and chat assistance would not be available outside the specified period.

Students are required to complete all course sections to participate in the evaluation and thus obtain the corresponding Certificate.

While we encourage to complete the training activity with the specified period, the participants will still be able to complete the training event with no limitations.

Professional Certification

All participants who have satisfactorily completed 100% of the EN61 course objectives will be eligible to take the internationally valid EN61 certification exam. Students who have successfully completed the course will be able to take the exam and thus obtain their professional certification.
