Opleiding: Operational Technology Security Foundation (S-OTSF) Course

How do we manage cybersecurity in industrial automation and control systems?

That is the central question of this two-day introductory course on the effective security of Operational Technology (OT/IACS/SCADA systems).

This two-day course provides a solid foundation in securing industrial automation and control systems (IACS). The training addresses the unique challenges of IACS environments, including technical complexity, ownership and increasing threats. Participants learn how to identify, assess and manage risks, and how to implement effective security measures.

The course is intended for professionals responsible for IACS security;

• Plant managers;
• System integrators;
• EPC contractors;
• OT architects;
• SOC managers.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Fully understand the differences between IACS and IT security,
• Be aware of IACS security regulations and standards,
• Be familiar with international collaborations in this field (EE-ISAC, CSIRT, NCSC),
• Understand and apply the Risk Management process for IACS systems,
• Be able to answer the question: How do we protect the ICS environment? Covering technical, process and control aspects.

Topics covered include: The differences between IACS and IT security, Differences and similarities between IT and IACS standards such as IEC 62443, ISO 27001, NIST SP 800-82 and EU NIS 2, sector-specific regulations and standards (utility services, healthcare, aviation, energy generation, etc.), risk assessment standards and methodologies (generic and for IACS), IACS security architecture and strategy, and the security incident response process.

In accordance with ISACA guidelines.

2 days of tuition spread over 2 weeks.
