ICCSS Industry Cybersecurity and Reliability Program

Effective safety and security in chemical and environmental activities play a vital role in society and have become the backbone of public and social security, and economic growth. Digitization in chemical areas and industry activities, and use Information and communications technology (ICT) underpins the complex systems which support everyday societal activities, keep our economies running in key sectors such as health, energy, finance and transport, and, in particular, support the chemical production, transport and use of chemicals. A large number of chemical installation and their economic significance make the chemical industry particularly vulnerable to terrorist attacks, including cyberattacks. As a result of a cyberattack, release of toxic chemicals or stoppage of flow of chemicals (reagents) to other industries would have serious health, social, economic and ecological repercussions. In practice it could form use of chemical weapons. Therefore cybersecurity and reliability have become a leading component of any safety and security activities.

ICCSS INDUSTRY CYBERSECURITY AND RELIABILITY ACTIVITIES 

 The ICCSS has introduced 3 market specialties in industrial cybersecurity and reliability for technicians, management and  policy. The new market industrial cybersecurity specialties focus both on how to operate cybersecurity in IT and OT at industrial sites and on reliability, as the very core of the cybersecurity design. Development and wide implementation of the above professional competences, based on knowledge of legal norms, management and good engineering practices, will be an important instrument to achieve the basic goal: preventing the cyber-intruder before he stops the industrial installation. The introduction of these market specialties will lower costs of cybersecurity services for Small and Medium Companies (SMI) and local administration. 6 innovative offers and approaches to enhance industry cybersecurity and reliability. 

 

ICCSS leads international team which prepares Manual of best practices in cybersecurity and reliability in the chemical and energy carriers industries. The international Task Force include partners, inter alia, from Canada, Italy, Ukraine and US. 

 

ICCSS offers roadmap For Raising Cybersecurity Awareness and Responsibility for international organisations and multi-national companies. It focuses on gathering and sharing of the most recent knowledge in terms of procedures, technical solutions and trainings in cybersecurity and reliability. ICCSS connects the subject of automation with the subjects of security of access and corporate architecture.  

ICCSS offers unique training program to increase resilience against cyber threats. This program addresses and promotes also human behaviour as equally important factor in cyber-security.  It supports ‘cyber-hygiene’, a set of routine measures that, where implemented and carried out regularly by organisations and businesses, minimize their exposure to risks from cyber threats.  

Within Cybersecurity and Reliability Program ICCSS Proposes the following:

  • Offer on Building Awareness about Cyber Threats And Increasing Reliability Against Cyberattacks In the Company 
  • Conference/Training: Cybersecurity and Industry Reliability, for central and local administrations, Small and Medium Companies, and academia
