Building power grid cyber-resilience through the application of IEC 62443 across the OT asset base

5-Day Conference, Exhibition & Networking Forum
 

Monday 13th to Friday 17th June 2022 | Edinburgh, UK 

IEC 62443 is a series of standards that provide power grid operators with a robust framework to manage and mitigate security vulnerabilities in industrial automation control systems. By segmenting an organisation’s cybersecurity risks into key zones, the standard enables significant reductions in cybersecurity risk and costs. Implementing IEC 62443 is everyone’s responsibility and must be better understood and fully embraced by power grid operators and solution providers alike to realise its full benefits.
 
This week-long conference, exhibition and networking forum draws together grid operators, solution providers and system integrators for a thorough exploration of IEC 62443 concepts, frameworks and controls with an accurate representation of cybersecurity risk to their operations. The Fundamentals of IEC 62443 workshop on day one of the event helps participants understand the essential building blocks of the standard and how they can be used in their own environment. The 3-day main conference that follows provides case-study reviews of practical applications of the standard in conjunction with ISO 27001 in a wide range of power grid environments. And the final day of the event provides a leading-edge briefing into how the standard can be leveraged to drive offensive cybersecurity in the OT environment.
 
By the end of this week-long conference, power grid cybersecurity leaders will be equipped and prepared to fully adopt IEC 62443 as part of their broader security management system, to work more systematically and more cost efficiently, to minimise their security risks and more easily achieve their security goals.

📌 PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

Monday 13th June – Fundamentals of IEC 62443 Workshop

The week begins with this comprehensive yet in-depth workshop on the fundamental building blocks of IEC 62443. Whether you are new to the subject matter or experienced and in need of a refresher, this is your opportunity to gain all the foundational knowledge you need to make sense of the case-study reviews that follow during the main conference.
 
Tuesday 14th to Thursday 16th June – Implementation Case-Study Conference & Exhibition

During the 3-day conference and exhibition, grid operators, solution providers and system integrators explore IEC 62443 concepts, frameworks and controls with an accurate representation of the cybersecurity risk to their operations. Case-study reviews are shared of recent applications of the standard in conjunction with ISO 27001 in a wide range of power grid environments.
 
Friday 17th June – Offensive Cybersecurity Briefing

On the final day of the event this leading-edge briefing provides new insights into how the standard can be leveraged to safely drive offensive cybersecurity strategies in the OT environment.
