The IEC 62443 standard is the main international reference framework for the cybersecurity of industrial systems and specifies a series of measures against cyber-attacks. It also provides a lingua franca for the industrial ecosystem (manufacturers, integrators and test laboratories). Is the only reliable solution for testing the cybersecurity of components in the field of industrial automation.
This methodology provides, among other, these advantages:
There are currently 5 products included in this taxonomy, all of them assessed by jtsec. Access to this category does not require making a Security Declaration and passing a LINCE, Common Criteria or CPSTIC assessment, but it does require passing penetration tests to verify that the tool complies with minimum security standards.
This peculiarity makes the process less costly for the client, in terms of money, staff resources and time.
Some weeks ago, we started a very special project, called ENJAMBRE and we are very proud to collaborate with valuable companies such as Fidesol, Nazaries Intelligenia, Grupo Trevenque, Smart City Cluster and Ontech. The first stage, the one explained in this blog, will end by 28 April 2023.
A few days ago, we ended 2022, starting a very exciting 2023 for the whole jtsec team, in which we have no doubt that there will be very interesting projects and challenges. Looking back at the year that has ended, we have seen the incredible evolution that the LINCE methodology has had and the more than significant number of solutions included in the CPSTIC / CCN-STIC 105 catalogue. Therefore, we would like to make a brief summary of our contribution at this point.
One of the main goals of the CSA is to provide a European cybersecurity certification framework for ICT products, services and processes in order to benefit companies that want to market their solutions in Europe by certifying their products just once and being recognized across the European Union.FITCEM is the first brick in a more united Europe in terms of horizontal cybersecurity schemes. FITCEM (EN 17640), opens the door for CSA schemes to use a European horizontal methodology that is flexible and can be customized to meet the needs of the different schemes.
