Course Summary

This training course addresses the critical convergence of functional safety and cybersecurity in modern industrial systems, where traditional measures alone are no longer sufficient to protect against functional safety hazards and sophisticated cyber threats. Understanding how failures and malfunctions may lead to mishaps and accidents with large financial consequences or personal injuries or fatalities is crucial for the successful operation of industrial systems. Professional engineers and managers must understand how cybersecurity vulnerabilities can compromise safety systems, potentially leading to catastrophic failures, regulatory non-compliance, and significant business impacts. In addition, the training course will cover how artificial intelligence is being used in the analysis and design of functional safety and cybersecurity systems.

The training course provides a comprehensive and practical approach for integrating functional safety and cybersecurity, covering everything from risk assessment methodologies to implementation strategies. Participants will gain experience with real-world scenarios, learning to apply key standards like IEC 61508, IEC 62443, and IEC 8800. Through interactive workshops and case studies, attendees will develop the skills needed to analyze, comprehend, and maintain systems that are both safe and secure, while ensuring compliance with current standards and regulations.

 This GLOMACS Functional Safety & Cybersecurity training course will highlight:

  • Learn safety and security risk assessments, reducing potential gaps in system protection
  • Master practical implementation of defense-in-depth strategies that satisfy both functional safety and security requirements
  • Develop competency in applying key standards IEC 61508, IEC 62443, and IEC 8800 to real-world scenarios
  • Gain hands-on experience with functional safety and security architecture design through interactive workshops
  • Acquire practical skills in assessment, verification, and validation techniques essential for maintaining safety and security system integrity
