Overview Learning Objectives Who Should Attend Prerequisite Outline Certification

Course Overview

ISA/IEC 62443 Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Specialist training prepares participants to conduct practical cyber risks in an ICS environment. Focused on the issues related to safeguarding critical infrastructures, the course introduces the learners to risk management tools that help to determine risk in Operational Technology (OT) environments. Specific proposals will be made on the ISA/ IEC 62443 standards applied globally, and the approach of how they can be linked to the existing threats to enhance the system will also be discussed in the course.

The course also explains the actions needed to avoid risks and how risks are prioritized. It focuses on how cybersecurity is developed to have minor risk impacts. This will be done through case studies and practical exercises, enabling the learners to devise strategies for applying what they have learnt at their workplace.

Moreover, the course's components supplement an acute concern with information security aspects, such as decision-making processes and critical thinking, which can be applicable to a wide range of business disciplines. At the end of this program, the participant should be able to consider risk in dimensions so as to safeguard the provided systems from impending cyber threats.
