Recommend or share the IC37/2137 course:
The third phase in the Cybersecurity in Industrial Systems (IACS ) lifecycle – defined in ISA/IEC-62443-1-1) focuses on activities associated with ongoing operations and the maintenance of Cybersecurity. This involves performing diagnostics and troubleshooting, monitoring security, responding to incidents, and maintaining the cybersecurity countermeasures implemented in the design and implementation phase.
This phase also includes security management of recovery, backup and cybersecurity procedures and periodic audits. The IC37 course will provide students with the information and skills to detect and troubleshoot cybersecurity issues in the face of potential events, as well as the skills to maintain the level of security of an operating system throughout its lifecycle despite the challenges of a changing environment with all its threats.
Main objective of the course IC37/2137
Once the changes for effective and efficient risk mitigation have been implemented and verified at the end of the development and implementation phase, the plant is out of cyber danger. That is to say that it is no longer expected that unbearable consequences may occur. However, to maintain a safe and continuous operation over time without degrading security, it is necessary to carry out preventive or corrective maintenance activities related to industrial cybersecurity.
It is of fundamental importance that the user understands what are the requirements of the ISA/IEC-62443 series of standards, necessary to maintain a safe and calm operation out of danger, during this third phase of the life cycle of industrial systems, which will surely be the longer in time.
