Welcome to the Fundamentals of IEC 62443 Online Training Programme

This 12-week community-based learning programme has been developed in collaboration with IEC 62443 specialists from across the smart grid sector, to ensure that your cyber security teams have all the theoretical and practical knowledge they need to embark on their IEC 62443 journey with confidence.

As an international, horizontal series of standards addressing cybersecurity for operational technology in automation and control systems, IEC 62443 is gaining traction as an indispensable tool for securing people, processes, and technology in converged grid environments. Providing technical and process security for operators, component and system manufacturers, and integration and maintenance service providers, IEC 62443 establishes a common language between IACS stakeholders needed to define and implement risk-based security controls across the entire lifecycle of grid assets and systems.

Fundamentals of IEC CIM 2024-2
