Cybersecurity for Components

TÜV Rheinland UK

TÜV Rheinland offers this training within the new TÜV Rheinland Cybersecurity Training Program.

Participants have the possibility to obtain an official verification of their expertise in Cybersecurity. By continuous participation in this 4 day training and passing a final exam successfully, they will receive a "CySec Specialist (TÜV Rheinland)" certificate.

This certificate states that specific knowledge within the field of Cybersecurity in Industrial Application for Component design and development has been achieved.

The training focuses on technical details regarding the development of system components which need to fulfill a Security Level (SL). All requirements of relevant standards to achieve a product with a defined security level, will be introduced and discussed.

Emphasis will also be put on the analysis of weak points, specific security related product development and documentation issues as well as required test or assessment processes.

Contents of this training refer to the international standard IEC 62443. Topics will be explained and discussed on the basis of concrete examples.

We recommend to attend the one-day workshop "Cybersecurity in Industrial Automation" as preparation for the training.

Target Group

Developers, testers, programmers, project managers etc. who are responsible for the development of control systems and network components for industrial automation.
