Control System Security Services
Control System Security Training
Experience has shown that most companies benefit from training as the first step in implementing a security program. When you bring together the ever-changing landscape of automation technology with the inherently dynamic nature of security, embarking on a security program can seem complex and overwhelming. exida offers flexible training programs for all the stakeholders impacting system security, including plant operators, plant staff, automation equipment developers, and system integrators.
While plant operators face accountability for security, they rely on their equipment manufacturers and system integrators to deliver systems with security effectively built in. And once the system is in place, the plant staff needs to be prepared to add security to their list of priorities for productivity and safety. (Numerous security studies identify policy violations and social engineering, not malevolent intent, as significant contributing factors in most security breaches. Usually an employee or contractor did not understand the potential impact of his or her actions.)
exida is uniquely qualified to deliver training across all these stakeholders. For example:
- Training materials developed by Byres Research formed the foundation for the ISA control system security training programs.
- exida instructors are active security professionals who participate in standards committees and provide professional security services, ensuring the training reflects the most current and pressing topics.
- exida’s collective experience includes decades of control system development experience from many of its employees, providing a more relevant knowledgeable resource for equipment manufacturers and system integrators.
