Recorded Webinars: Leveraging IEC 62443 Security Level (SL) Requirements to Define IACS Cybersecurity Metrics
The IEC 62443 document series is an international standard intended to provide a flexible framework to enhance Industrial Automation Control System (IACS) cybersecurity. Seven core functional requirements are used to assist with the design, development, testing and construction of an integrated security architecture. As the Security Level (SL) targets and capabilities are defined, cybersecurity metrics become necessary to be able to assess the efficacy and comprehensiveness of the design. These Security Levels are organized into four increasing tiers each requiring more stringent controls be in place.
As the security architecture matures and the logical and physical assets are grouped into zones, they need to be evaluated along with the connections and data flows between zones that are called conduits. Both the zones and conduits need appropriate security controls to insure plant operational safety. Cybersecurity Best Practices have principles (such as ‘defense in depth’) that can be evaluated through cybersecurity metrics that evaluate architectural components such as zones and conduits.
Furthermore, security is a process that requires continual risk management and risk reduction via the mitigation of identified threats. Cybersecurity metrics are generated and evaluated to determine if adequate risk management is being enabled. Through the usage of well defined, repeatable and accurate cybersecurity metrics, SL adequacy can be assessed.
This presentation goes through the IEC 62443 foundational requirements and describes appropriate and relevant security metrics for evaluating that architectural components such as zones and conduits have appropriate cybersecurity controls in place and that the SL target has been achieved.

Recorded Webinars: Alarm Management and ISA-18.2 / IEC 62682 – How Do I Get Started?
Don’t get started on the wrong track. This presentation shows how to begin creating an effective alarm management program that complies with the ISA-18.2 / IEC 62682 standards. Performing a thorough alarm system performance benchmark and gap assessment is often the first step in creating a sustainable alarm management program and gaining management buy-in. This presentation discusses tools, techniques, and methodologies for characterizing current performance, identifying systematic issues, and identifying (as well as closing) gaps compared to ISA-18.2 / IEC 62682.
This joint presentation between exida and SyTech will demonstrate how tools such as XLReporter can make it easy to measure alarm system performance. Combine this tool with exida’s alarm management expertise and see how easy it is to set a course for improved alarm management.
Co-presented by: Peter Kaprielian, Chief Technology Officer at SyTech
Blog Entry: Managing Unconfirmed Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities like Supermicro
Unconfirmed vulnerabilities are not usually a big issue, but when one occurs like Supermicro , plant management will ask a simple question: “Do we have an issue or not?” Having been on the receiving end of this blunt exchange, I realize it can be painful and embarrassing to communicate, “I…
