Sept. 10, 2015 - PRLog -- Eindhoven, September 10, 2015 – This 5-day training teaches how to combine IT, cyber security and engineering best practices to secure Industrial Control Systems (ICS). This training prepares for the Global Industrial Cyber Security Professional (GICSP) certificate of GIAC.

Numerous incidents have shown that Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) could be vulnerable to cyber attacks and that such attacks can lead to disruption of physical systems and networks. This makes security for IACS an important part of Critical Information Infrastructive Protection (CIIP). This GICSP training is a great introduction to the IACS landscape and associated security concerns.

This training provides the essentials for concluding cyber security work in industrial control system environments. When this GICSP (Global Industrial Cyber Security Professional) training is completed, an appreciation, understanding and common language is developed that will enable the participant to work together with colleagues to secure Industrial Control System (ICS) environments.
