In recent years, many organizations have made trustworthy software central to their mission. If your industrial systems are not trustworthy, it can lead to a string of faults and incidents that you simply do not want on your resume.
Conventional safety function is not designed to provide protection against malicious intentional parties but only against accidents and errors. Therefore, putting controls in place to optimize security and safety is a vital first step. Dr. Emrah Tomur, Master Researcher at Ericsson Research and Dr. Emilia Cioroaica; PhD Researcher, Fraunhofer IESE will share illustrative use cases from the manufacturing industry to demonstrate how vulnerabilities in functional safety can lead to operational downtime, intellectual property loss and even life-threatening consequences.
The webinar will conclude with best practices based on Industrial Internet Consortium guidelines, related standards and security features including current mobile technologies to mitigate effects of security threats on safety.
