Cyber-attacks on industrial systems not only cause business losses such as plant shutdowns and equipment damage, but also the impact on lives and the environment. The international standard IEC 62443 is one of the security measures for OT (operational technology) that controls and operates industrial systems.
TÜV SÜD provides a variety of services globally, from IEC 62443 implementation to certification. In Japan, we have been offering the OT security core human resource development program “IEC 62443 Foundation Qualification Course [1]” since 2022, and the “IEC 62443 Professional Certification Course [2]” since 2023.
TÜV SÜD Japan is pleased to announce that over 150 people in Japan have obtained the IEC 62443 Foundation Certification Course (as of December 2023). In addition, 10 people have obtained professional course qualifications. The increase in the number of people holding international cybersecurity qualifications will not only improve OT security in the organizations to which they belong, but also contribute to solid defense against cyber threats both domestically and internationally.
A cybersecurity expert from TÜV SÜD Japan commented: “It is great news that the number of people with IEC 62443 Foundation qualification has exceeded 150, and the fact that Japan, although a latecomer, is rapidly producing a large number of people with qualifications. We expect further improvements in security in industrial control systems manufactured by manufacturers.”
TÜV SÜD Japan will continue to contribute to the promotion of OT security measures in Japan through various security-related services such as certification and training. Click here for TÜV SÜD Japan’s IEC 62443 related services: https://bit.ly/4b6mZCd
