Accredited training for the PECB ISA/IEC 62443: Industrial automation and control system security certification.
Presentation
As cyber threats targeting critical infrastructure grow, securing industrial automation and control systems (IACS) has become an absolute priority. ISA/IEC 62443 Lead Implementer training develops the expertise to plan, implement and effectively manage an industrial security programme aligned with international standards.
The programme draws on the ISA/IEC 62443 series to address the complete industrial security lifecycle, from risk assessment to maintaining operational controls. Through practical exercises and realistic scenario workshops, learn to define clear roles, secure supply chains and respond rapidly to security incidents. The aim is to strengthen organisational resilience while ensuring critical processes' availability and integrity.
By the end of this intensive course, you will have the skills to lead a robust, internationally recognised industrial compliance programme. You will also be ready for the PECB Certified ISA/IEC 62443 Lead Implementer examination included in our offer (see the Certification tab for details).
