Description
“This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.”
This course teaches practical CRA readiness and OT cybersecurity awareness for PLC/HMI-based industrial control panels, with a special focus on compressor unit control cabinets.
Industrial machines are no longer only mechanical and electrical systems. Modern control panels include PLCs, HMIs, industrial Ethernet, remote service connections, drive communication, firmware, software projects, backups, configuration files, supplier components, and service access. Because of this, cybersecurity is becoming a real engineering responsibility for control, automation, electrical, commissioning, service, and compliance team
In this course, you will learn how the EU Cyber Resilience Act, IEC 62443, and practical OT cybersecurity concepts apply to industrial control panels. The course explains the difference between product cybersecurity, company IT security, and customer site security. It also shows how PLC access, HMI users, remote access, network architecture, backups, restore procedures, supplier evidence, vulnerability handling, SBOMs, incident reporting, FAT checks, and service handover can become part of a practical cybersecurity readiness workflo
This is not a hacking course and it does not require cybersecurity specialist knowledge. The course is designed for engineers and technical teams who need to understand, challenge, and supervise CRA or IEC 62443 activities without becoming full-time cybersecurity expert
By the end of the course, you will have a structured view of what must be checked, documented, assigned, and prepared before industrial control panels can be considered cybersecurity-read
Who this course is for:
- Automation, control, electrical, commissioning, and service engineers working with PLC/HMI-based compressor control panels
- Engineering teams who need to understand CRA readiness without becoming cybersecurity specialists
- Compressor unit manufacturers preparing for product cybersecurity obligations under the EU Cyber Resilience Act
- Control teams who must work with external CRA or IEC 62443 consultants and want to challenge them effectively
- Managers, team leaders, and technical responsible persons who need a practical overview of cybersecurity responsibilities
- Engineers involved in PLC access, HMI security, remote service, backups, supplier evidence, FAT, SAT, and service handover
