IEC 62443 for Building Automation Systems

The IEC 62443 standards are becoming the de-facto global cybersecurity standards for operational technology, IOT and, development processes for automation and controls. The presenters will describe why suppliers in the building management systems (BMS) industry have recognized the relevance to the BMS industry and are adopting IEC 62443 as the preferred standard.

This webinar provides an overview of the structure of the ANSI/ISA 62443 (IEC 62443) family of standards for automation and control systems. The presenter will describe how the standards are based on stakeholder viewpoints and the system lifecycle, and how the IEC 62443 standards are useful in securing the supply chain for off-the-shelf automation technology.

The presenters will also introduce the international ISASecure product certification scheme, which is managed by the International Society of Automation, the authors of the ANSI/ISA 62443 standards (IEC 62443).
