C05. Cybersecurity in the design, operation and maintenance of the Industrial Water Sector
The key training for preparation against cyberattacks in water infrastructures
What is the Cybersecurity in the Design, Operation, and Maintenance of the Industrial Water Sector Course?
The water sector is crucial for the proper functioning of society. Cybersecurity attacks are numerous and frequent. With this course, students will discover and analyze the methodologies needed for diagnosing and improving cybersecurity maturity in the industrial infrastructures of the water sector.
This course provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in industrial cybersecurity and applicable technologies, focusing the analysis on the water sector.
It covers various aspects of cybersecurity in the sector: its application in different phases of an industrial digitalization project, conducting a diagnosis, and improving the organization’s cybersecurity maturity. All of this aims to help minimize the impact of potential cyberattacks, which in many cases can have disastrous and even irreversible consequences.
What you will learn in this training
- Identify and define cybersecurity concepts applied in Industrial Control Systems of the water sector, their definitions and relationships, analyzing risks and impacts on business and our lives from various compliance, technological, and security perspectives.
- Discover and analyze the state-of-the-art protection of Industrial Infrastructures internationally regarding regulations, initiatives, standards, sectors, organizations, methodologies, etc.
- Detect and analyze the current security situation in the water sector and the threats and vulnerabilities of Industrial Control Systems, recognizing their associated risks.
- Incorporate cybersecurity requirements in different stages of industrial automation and digitalization projects, focusing on those needed from the design phase.
- Identify, describe, and adopt applicable frameworks and standards in these environments; the standards that this training draws from: IEC 62443, ISO 27001, BS 25999, NIST SP 800-82, NIST Framework…
- Manage digital security in an operational technology environment in the water sector.
