TÜV Rheinland Cyber Security Program - Fundamentals & Security Risk Assessment

 

The TÜV Rheinland Cyber Security Training Program is a unique opportunity to provide evidence of competency in Cyber Security from an internationally recognized organisation. The CySec Specialist (TÜV Rheinland) certificate program demonstrates competency with respect to assessing and specifying Industrial Automation Control and Safety System (IACS) Security and provides a skill set enabling staff to fulfill responsibilities and to perform activities to recognised standards of competence, in order to:

− reduce the risk of a successful cyber attack

− satisfy legal and regulatory requirements

− meet the organisation’s system security and business objectives

The objective of the TÜV Rheinland Cyber Security Risk Assessment training course is to provide participants with a basic understanding of the cyber security fundamentals to better equip delegates to understand the principles and practices introduced later in the IACS Cybersecurity Risk Assessment element of the course and to understand:

• The role and the process of Security Risk Assessment (SRA) in gaining an understanding of the security risks on the facility and their potential consequences.
• The concept of Security Level – Targets (SL-T) and the Cyber Security Requirements Specification (CSRS)
• The relationship between SL-T and CSRS to the design and implementation of security countermeasures that are capable and able to achieve the security requirements needed of the determined security level

Participants, who meet the eligibility requirements, complete the course, and successfully pass the Cybersecurity fundamentals and Security Risk Assessment exams, will be eligible for the prestigious CySec Specialist (TÜV Rheinland) certificate in Security Risk Assessment.

The course is based around a practical case study that will be developed across the four days of the course taking the delegate through the fundamentals and SRA process. The course is a modular structure of classroom tuition supported by case study practical’s, that will take the participant through the SRA process as identified in IEC 62443-3.2.

Day five consists of a four-hour two-part examination based on a mixture of fundamentals and SRA multiple choice questions followed open SRA questions.
