Why Attend?
This PiB online training course on Process Control Cybersecurity will tackle critical concerns pertaining to safeguarding assets within process control environments. Unlike conventional IT systems, process control assets encompass Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS), necessitating specialized protection.
Recent data reveals that three out of four organizations in the Middle East's oil and natural gas industry have encountered security breaches leading to confidential data loss or Operational Technology (OT) disruptions. A study conducted by Siemens and the Ponemon Institute underscores this. Furthermore, the report notes that nearly half of cyber-attacks targeting the OT environment remain undetected. The oil and gas sector, vital to the Middle East's economies, faces substantial risks, given that it is the focal point for nearly half of all cyberattacks in the region. The convergence of IT and OT, while beneficial, also exposes new vulnerabilities to attacks.
This PiB Process Control Cybersecurity online training course will explore:
1. Assets requiring safeguarding within Process Control
2. The Current Landscape of Industrial Security
3. The Significance of the Process Control Security Standard IEC 62443
4. Risk Evaluation and Countermeasures in Cybersecurity
5. Application Diagnostics, Troubleshooting, and Incident Response
Participate in this course to fortify your understanding and skills in Process Control Cybersecurity, mitigating potential threats and securing critical assets effectively.
