New training offer from Pilz, “Fundamentals of Industrial Security”, provides an introduction to Security in automation - Basic knowledge of Industrial Security

In order to guarantee Industrial Security on their own machinery, specialists in mechanical engineering require sound fundamental knowledge – particularly of legislation and applicable standards. Experts from Pilz share this expertise in the “Fundamentals of Industrial Security” training course. Delegates learn to understand security threats, appropriate protective measures and best practices in the context of machinery and network security.

Networking and digitisation of machinery mean new security risks through cyber attacks or even (unintentional) manipulation. So Machinery Safety needs a rethink, because Security guarantees the integrity and reliability of Safety.

Comprehensive understanding of Industrial Security
In the new training course “Fundamentals of Industrial Security”, Pilz trainers pass on fundamental knowledge of Industrial Security in industrial automation. They address new compliance regulations as well as other legal requirements, such as the Machinery Regulation (MR), Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and NIS-2 Directive. The differences between IT and OT and their impact on Machinery Safety in production are also discussed.
Examples from best practice illustrate the subject matter and can be transferred to the risk assessment in your own production environment. So even those new to Security can learn about the measures they can take to effectively protect machinery from cyber attacks and manipulation at machine production level.

First-hand knowledge
Delegates benefit from expert knowledge because Pilz participates in relevant standards committees for Safety and Security, and advises companies on how to achieve security protection goals on their machine. “Fundamentals of Industrial Security” provides a quick introduction to the subject and a compact knowledge base for terminology, requirements and protection goals. Having completed the training, delegates are immediately prepared to consider Industrial Security in new projects.
