The Secure Development Lifecycle: Unlocking IEC 62443 Part 4-1 for Industrial Automation and Control Systems

In the ever-evolving landscape of Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS), ensuring security is not just about protecting data but safeguarding the essential functions that maintain safety, integrity, and responsiveness in time-critical environments. While security standards are well-established in IT, applying them to Operational Technology (OT) can be a significant challenge due to the unique requirements and constraints of physical cyber systems.

Join us in this specialized webinar as we navigate through the IEC 62443 standard series, with a particular focus on Part 4-1. This holistic standard provides comprehensive guidance for asset owners, product suppliers, and service providers within IACS environments.

Key Takeaways:

• Understanding the Distinctions Between IT and OT Security: Learn about the key differences in security goals between IT and OT systems, and why maintaining essential functions in OT environments is crucial.
• Exploring IEC 62443: Gain insights into the IEC 62443 standard series and how it addresses the unique needs of IACS environments, ensuring that security is integrated at every level—from asset owners to service providers.
• Focus on Part 4-1: Delve into IEC 62443 Part 4-1, which provides a framework for implementing a secure development lifecycle (SDL) for product suppliers and developers, ensuring that IACS components are built with security in mind from the ground up.
• Building Secure IACS Components: Discover practical strategies for developing secure IACS components, from initial design through deployment, in compliance with the requirements outlined in IEC 62443 Part 4-1.
• Ensuring Compliance: Understand the compliance requirements and how to meet them, ensuring that your products and systems adhere to global security standards and are resilient against emerging threats.

This webinar is essential for product suppliers, developers, and stakeholders in the IACS domain who are looking to enhance their understanding of IEC 62443 and how to implement a secure product lifecycle. Don’t miss this opportunity to unlock the full potential of IEC 62443 Part 4-1 and build robust, secure solutions for your industrial automation and control systems.
