IEC 62443: Industrial Network and System Security Applicability to the Built Environment

Cyber security means many things to many people. Banking, government, utilities all have their own standards and terminology. All have the same goal to prevent disruption of operations, loss of sensitive data, and protection of life and property. But many of these standards are IT centric and are difficult to apply to the building control environment. One standard designed explicitly for automation is IEC 62443: Industrial Network and System Security. This presentation discusses how this standard can be applied to the automation ion the built environment, and how it differs from other cyber security standards.
