MC07.2 - Αdvanced - Standardized Measures and Network Monitoring

Description

This microcredential introduces learners to the essential cybersecurity standards and monitoring techniques used in modern smart manufacturing. Learners will explore how to protect industrial systems by applying well-known cybersecurity standards (IEC 62443, ISO/IEC 27001, NIST CSF), performing risk assessment and using network-monitoring tools. Through hands-on exercises, learners will learn how to check industrial networks for threats, perform a cybersecurity risk assessment and apply basic security levels and measures, analyze traffic using tools like Wireshark and Snort, and understand how SIEM systems collect and organize security information.

Learn-and-Earn Microcredentials

Learn-and-earn microcredentials require completing a structured learning experience, such as a course, workshop, or learning path. Afterward, you must demonstrate mastery of the acquired skills through assessments or evaluations. This type ensures your knowledge is both acquired and validated, making it ideal for those seeking to enhance their expertise while earning a recognized credential. It combines education and skill validation, offering a clear pathway to professional growth.

Non-Formal Learning

This microcredential supports non-formal learning experiences. It recognizes skills gained through workshops, online courses, or workplace training, offering a flexible way to validate targeted learning outcomes. It's perfect for those seeking recognition for practical, hands-on learning outside traditional institutions.
