CSSA — Certified SCADA Security Architect
IACRB's SCADA security architecture certification covering SCADA system architecture, vulnerability assessment, industrial protocol security, and access control design. Not DoD 8140 approved. Less well-known than GIAC GICSP or ISA-62443 but provides a dedicated SCADA architecture focus that neither covers quite as specifically. Most relevant for system architects and engineers designing security into SCADA systems rather than operating or assessing existing systems. The IACRB is a smaller certification body with more limited employer recognition than GIAC or ISA.
