Description

Assessing the Cybersecurity of New or Existing IACS Systems (IC33E) is an online course which will provide students with the information and skills to assess the cybersecurity of a new or existing IACS and to develop a cybersecurity requirements specification that can be used to document the cybersecurity requirements of the project.  This course is a blended learning format which includes interactive, on-demand modules, weekly assignments and instructor call-in sessions.  Modules include instructional content, interactive reviews, video lab demonstrations conducted by an ISA Cybersecurity instructor and assessments.

You will be able to:

  • Identify and document the scope of the IACS under assessment
  • Specify, gather or generate the cybersecurity information required to perform the assessment
  • Identify or discover cybersecurity vulnerabilities inherent in the IACS products or system design
  • Organize and facilitate a cybersecurity risk assessment for an IACS
  • Identify and evaluate realistic threat scenarios
  • Identify gaps in existing policies, procedures and standards
  • Establish and document security zones and conduits
  • Prepare documentation of assessment results
