CySec FDM
Fundamentals of Cybersecurity (TÜV Rheinland)
Build a foundation for industrial cybersecurity and subsequent specialist study: industrial networks and protocols, network protection, cryptography, the IEC 62443 framework and security programme principles.
Algemene informatie
Build a practical foundation in industrial cybersecurity. This course explains the networks, protocols, protective technologies and management practices used in Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS), preparing you for further specialist study.
You will connect network fundamentals with the security requirements of an operating facility, including the importance of availability, controlled access and a structured security programme.
Who should attend and entry requirements
Control, instrumentation, process, Functional Safety, technical safety and product-design engineers; developers; integrators; operations and maintenance personnel; consultants; and managers involved in industrial systems or product security. It is suitable for professionals preparing for specialist security risk assessment or product security training.
No formal entry prerequisites apply to the current Fundamentals programme. Familiarity with IACS, industrial networks and IT/OT interfaces is helpful.
What you will learn
- Understand industrial network concepts and the differences between operational and business networks.
- Explain switching, routing, addressing, key protocols and common network protection measures.
- Recognise where cryptography, remote-access protection and intrusion detection support industrial security.
- Understand the purpose of IEC 62443, NIST CSF and an industrial cybersecurity management programme.
- Connect risk analysis, organisational responsibilities and continuing improvement with technical security measures.
Inhoud
The programme combines security awareness, standards and frameworks, networking and TCP/IP, technical and organisational cybersecurity, countermeasures and further security considerations. The technical syllabus develops the following subjects.
Industrial networks and addressing
Understand how industrial information is carried and how network structure influences security.
- Industrial networks and business networks; network types and the ISO/OSI reference model.
- OSI Layer 1 physical connections and Layer 2 switching.
- IPv4 addressing, Network Address Translation (NAT) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
Communications and network protection
Review how communication paths are controlled and protected.
- Routers and Layer 3 switches.
- TCP connection-oriented communication and User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
- Firewalls, cryptography, remote-access Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS).
Industrial protocols and security management
Place technical safeguards within an organised industrial security programme.
- Industrial protocol examples, including Modbus and Profibus.
- The IEC 62443 framework and NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF).
- Establishing an IACS security programme and carrying out risk analysis.
- Addressing risks through a Cybersecurity Management System (CSMS), then monitoring and improving the programme.
Examen en certificering
Duration, examination and certificate
The current TÜV Rheinland programme is four days including a closed-book multiple-choice examination on day four.
- Examination: 60 multiple-choice questions, approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, closed book.
- Pass criterion: 75% (45 of 60).
Participants who attend the training and pass receive the TÜV Rheinland Fundamentals of Cybersecurity certificate. An examination-only pass receives a Confirmation Letter. Fundamentals alone does not award the full CySec Specialist qualification; the applicable specialist training, examinations and eligibility requirements must also be completed.
