Who should attend the ISA/IEC 62443 Lead Implementer training?

The ISA/IEC 62443 Lead Implementer training is designed for professionals responsible for implementing or managing industrial cybersecurity programs in OT and IACS environments.

The ISA/IEC 62443 Lead Implementer training is intended for professionals who have direct responsibility for securing industrial automation and control systems. This includes those designing, operating, or governing cybersecurity programs in OT environments.

The course is particularly relevant in 2024–2025 as industrial cybersecurity expectations expand beyond technical teams. Regulators, customers, and insurers increasingly expect defined roles, documented governance, and structured risk management aligned with ISA/IEC 62443.

Typical participants include industrial security managers, automation and control engineers, OT security specialists, and consultants supporting industrial clients. IT security professionals transitioning into OT roles also benefit, provided they are prepared to adapt to industrial constraints.

The training assumes participants are involved in implementation decisions rather than pure oversight. It is not designed for entry-level cybersecurity roles or purely academic study of standards.

In practice, attendees use the training to structure real programs, prepare organizations for audits, clarify IT/OT responsibilities, and justify security decisions to management and external stakeholders.

Expert Insight

We see the strongest outcomes when participants already have operational accountability. Engineers gain structure and language; security professionals gain realism.

Those looking only for theoretical knowledge or high-level awareness tend to be disappointed. This training is about execution. Participants should expect to work through trade-offs rather than ideal solutions.

“If you’re the person expected to explain industrial security decisions to auditors or management, this course is for you.”
