Safety, Security & Cybersecurity Insights with Maximillian G. Kon
Episode 01 | Introduction to Industrial Cybersecurity.
This episode features a discussion between Angel Lopez and Max Kon about industrial cybersecurity. Max highlights the importance of ISA standards in industrial automation and cybersecurity, emphasizing his active involvement in ISA activities and training programs. Max’s journey underscores the evolution of cybersecurity in control systems and his dedication to promoting cybersecurity awareness and standards within the industry.
Many people wrongly believe that industrial cybersecurity is about preventing cyber-incidents and protecting devices from being hacked. This is partially true, since traditional cybersecurity will always be insufficient. Additional measures of risk are required. A consequence-based approach is paramount.
Every professional who designs configure and maintain any type of control systems, need to learn about zones and conduits and manage the new security requirements and develop necessary skills according to their function, even if they are not into industrial cybersecurity.
Episode 02 | Mastering Industrial Cybersecurity Risk Assessment.
This episode features a discussion between Angel Lopez and Max Kon about industrial cybersecurity risk assessment. Max highlights the importance of making the right decisions as it would most probably be the only and the best chance that the plant may have.
The need to use the resources of the company wisely is not an option. Furthermore, it is not about money, it is about time and opportunity.
This technical article analyze the importance of using a robust risk assessment methodology for taking good and sound decisions over time.
Recommended Training
The best training course to learn about the requirements that need to be met for assessing the industrial cybersecurity risk is the official ISA, IC33 training course. You need to take IC32 before taking IC33. These courses are for experts.
The best training to take to learn about a sound and proven methodology that complies with the requirements explained above are the WisePlant 2160 (general industry) or EN60 (energy, oil and gas) training courses. These two courses are for everyone and explain a methodology for assessing the risk and taking the best decisions.
Recommended Service
We recommend the Industrial Risk Assessment service pack. We employ a well-established RAGAGEP methodology to assess industrial cybersecurity risks. This approach aids in making robust, long-term decisions. Notably, it truly helps in mitigating potential hazards. Utilising the ZCM RMS, our services generate numerous results from this evaluation.
