OT160: CRA & IEC 62443 Efficient Implementation for Manufacturers

Training: Security - Industry 4.0

Those who bring products with digital services to market will in the future have to prove that security and resilience were considered from the beginning. Acquire the manufacturer-relevant knowledge for integrating the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) with the requirements of IEC 62443. We show how the IEC standard helps you build and operate your production in CRA-compliant manner already today.

Target audience:

  • Development departments of industrial products, IoT (Cyber-Physical)
  • Cybersecurity and compliance officers
  • Product managers, quality managers, project managers
  • Executive management and decision makers in research & development
  • Consultants and internal auditors in industrial environments

Prerequisites:

  • Basic knowledge in IT/OT security
  • Familiarity with industrial product development or manufacturing processes

Description:

The two-day workshop OT160 CRA and IEC 62443 Efficient Implementation for Manufacturers provides manufacturers with comprehensive knowledge for integrating the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) with the requirements of IEC 62443, specifically parts 3.2 (Security risk assessment and system design) 4.1 (Secure product development lifecycle requirements) and 4.2 (Technical security requirements for IACS components).

Special emphasis is placed on the mapping of CRA requirements and the measures according to IEC 62443: Participants learn how they can efficiently cover a large portion of the upcoming regulatory requirements with existing standards. The focus is on practical approaches to leverage synergies, optimize processes and ensure compliance evidence. By linking both frameworks, companies benefit from a future-proof, scalable security strategy and avoid duplicate work. The workshop combines theoretical background with group work, joint gap assessments and best practice analyses to facilitate immediate implementation in their own company.
