About The Certification and Examination

Certification:

ISA/IEC 62443 Cybersecurity Fundamentals Specialist is an examination comprising 75-100 questions from the training course. Its main emphasis is protecting industrial automation and control systems (IACS). The test pass is issued as a certificate that proves the participants’ knowledge of IACS cybersecurity basics and frameworks.

Examination:

Certificate 1: ISA/IEC 62443 Cybersecurity Fundamentals SpecialistObtain this certification by passing the exam after completing the ISA/IEC 62443 Standards to secure your Industrial Control System training course. Available formats include:
Classroom (IC32): In the IC32 course, the ISA/IEC 62443 standards are described as protecting control systems; differences are between IT and SCADA security because open standards make systems vulnerable to cyberattacks akin to corporate networks.
Virtual Classroom (IC32V): A course such as the IC32V encompasses the ISA/IEC 62443 standard on securing control systems, emphasizing the increased risk of cyber-attacks on SCADA systems.
Instructor-Guided Online (IC32E): The IC32E course covers ISA/IEC 62443 as the framework for maintaining control systems and SCADA security against escalating cyber threats.
Self-Paced Modular (IC32M): The IC32M course covers ISA/IEC 62443 standards for safeguarding control systems, especially given emerging concerns about SCADA security.
