These points aim to provide practical and relevant information for users implementing FrameworX in a security-conscious environment.
Introduction to IEC 62443
Brief overview of the IEC 62443 series of standards and its importance for securing Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS).
Explanation of the core concepts, such as Security Levels (SL), Zones, and Conduits.
FrameworX Architecture and IEC 62443 Alignment
Discussion on how FrameworX’s architecture and features inherently support the implementation of a secure environment according to IEC 62443 principles.
Mapping of FrameworX components to a typical Zones and Conduits model.
Implementing Foundational Requirements (FRs) with FrameworX
Practical guidance on how to use FrameworX features to meet the seven Foundational Requirements of the standard:
Identification and Authentication Control (IAC): Configuring users, groups, and security policies.
Use Control (UC): Setting up access permissions and privileges for different roles.
System Integrity (SI): Utilizing features like encrypted communication and system diagnostics.
Data Confidentiality (DC): Implementing secure data transmission with HTTPS, SSL, and VPNs.
Restricted Data Flow (RDF): Configuring firewalls and managing data flow between security zones.
Timely Response to Events (TRE): Using the logging, auditing, and alarm features to monitor security events.
Resource Availability (RA): Implementing redundancy and failover configurations.
