The Cybersecurity Lifecycle (IEC 62443) and exSILentia Cyber
Recording Date: January 2020
The cybersecurity lifecycle was developed to define the key steps in analyzing security risks, designing secure systems, and maintaining security throughout the life of industrial control systems. Learn how to use exSILentia Cyber to complete key steps of the Cybersecurity Lifecycle Outlined in IEC 62443 including high-level risk assessment, detailed risk assessment, security level verification. This webinar will demonstrate how a tool-based approach allows for consistent lifecycle implementation across an organization and can provide significant benefits including knowledge capture, built-in industry best practice, consistent template usage, and report generation for easy result sharing.
