Independent proof of competence for specialists responsible for cybersecurity in IT and OT environments.
Overview
What is it about?
Personnel certification in cybersecurity proves that a specialist can recognise threats, assess risks and implement effective protective measures for networked systems. What is assessed is an understanding of current attack vectors, the securing of IT and OT environments. For example in the sense of IEC 62443. And the ability to respond to security incidents in a structured way.
The certification is aimed at roles such as cybersecurity officers, security engineers and specialists for securing industrial automation systems. Their competence and qualifications are assessed and confirmed by an independent body.
