Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

The course provides a hands-on approach to risk assessment for industrial control systems (ICS) using the 62443 standard. Designed for professionals involved in securing operational technology (OT) environments, this course offers a structured methodology to evaluate and mitigate security risks, helping participants protect critical infrastructure and industrial systems. 

This course begins with an introduction to the importance of risk assessment in ICS environments, followed by a virtual tour to help learners understand ICS components, asset inventory, and system architecture. It then delves into key risk assessment terminologies such as UTL, MTL, ATL, and risk matrices, along with calculations for Tolerable Risk and CRRF. The core of the course is a detailed workshop covering practical risk assessments at various levels—from PLCs and HMI to firewalls and network switches. Lastly, it addresses how to report the findings and recommends the next steps post-assessment. 

By the end of this course, you'll be equipped to conduct thorough risk assessments in OT environments and provide actionable security recommendations.
