Precise time synchronization is a key requirement in Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), and TSN networks require the use of the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). Listen to our expert's deep dive into this essential protocol.

Demystifying Precise Time Synchronization

A well-used and pertinent phrase drives edge device development: "There is no safety without security". The confluence (intersection and overlap) between these two critical aspects is essential for the reliable and safe operation of modern systems, especially in automotive, aerospace, medical devices, industrial control systems, and critical infrastructure.

In this webinar, we will discuss how safety-critical embedded systems design teams and operations teams must begin designing from the ground up with safety and security top-of-mind.

• System Design: Facilitating 'Shift-left' for earlier safety/security defect detection; a Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL).
• Certification and Compliance: Compliance to industry-specific safety and security standards, with evidence.
• Risk Management: CVE tracking and mitigation.
• Lifecycle Management: continuous monitoring, maintenance, updates, and vulnerability management.
• Human Factors: User behaviors, training, and awareness.

The confluence of security and functional safety emphasizes the importance of addressing both aspects holistically to develop and maintain systems that are not only safe and reliable but also resilient to security threats and attacks. Integrating security and functional safety considerations from the early stages of system development can help organizations mitigate risks and ensure the overall integrity and trustworthiness of their systems.

The Confluence of Safety and Security in Critical Systems
