Arctic Directory 2016: aeSolutions develops training and certificate program

aeSolutions said it worked throughout 2015 with the International Society of Automation to develop their new ISA/IEC 62443-based cybersecurity training and certificate program www.isa.org/CYBERCertificate. The program is designed to help professionals involved in industrial IT and industrial control systems improve their understanding of, and acquire a command of the principles covered in, the ISA/IEC 62443 series of standards. These standards apply to all key industry sectors and critical infrastructure, providing students with the knowledge to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in industrial automation and control systems.

The entire program consists of four training courses. The fundamentals course is two days in length. Additional three-day courses take deeper dives into risk assessment, design and maintenance. All the courses include extensive high-quality hands-on labs. After attending each course, students may take an exam to demonstrate their command of the material. Students taking all four courses, and passing all four exams, are allowed to use the title ISA/IEC 62443 cybersecurity expert.

“It was an honor for me and my team to work with ISA, to fulfill our mutual vision to develop a practical, standards based curriculum, that will quickly enable industrial IT and automation professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to protect their companies ICS systems. I am particularly thankful to the ICS vendors who provided ISA with hardware, software and support to make the hands-on labs extremely realistic,” said John Cusimano, aeSolutions’ director of industrial cybersecurity.

Patrick Gouhin, executive director and CEO of ISA, expressed his appreciation to aeSolutions and stated, “You truly employ world-class subject matter experts that are shaping the future when it comes to ICS cybersecurity knowledge.”
