Recorded Webinars: NIST 800-53 or IEC 62443, which standard is right for me?
With the growing cybersecurity requests to product and service providers, selecting the right standards for developing a security program has never been more critical. But considering the time involved with developing this program, organizations don’t want to pick just any standard, it is important to select the standard that is best aligned with the field the organization is working in, its goals, and its organizational needs. Two standards that are often referenced in industrial and building cybersecurity are NIST 800-53 and IEC 62443. This webinar will provide an overview of both standards, a comparison of the two standards, as well as the benefits and potential shortcomings for each, so that you can be confident on the best path forward for your organization.

Recorded Webinars: Faster, Better FMEDA – Using ARCHx to Get Needed Input Information
After many years of experience at exida, we still see FMEDA projects going overbudget with schedule delay. The main reason is often lack of needed information needed to finish the FMDA task. We started using the functional FMEDA approach some years ago as that method deals with changes, updates, and new designs much better than the old direct approach. However, to really get things done on budget and on schedule we started using an information tool, ARCHx. This information can be gathered as part of a modified DFMEA which we call DDMA but can also be done independently. This webinar describes the functional FMEDA approach, lists the information needed to do this type of FMEDA, and shows how that information can be optimally gathered / documented.

Blog Entry: Threat Modeling: How to Succeed at this High Value and High Effort Cybersecurity Activity
Threat Modeling (TM) is a process for identifying and prioritizing potential cybersecurity threats to software, hardware or a system. Contributing to the high value of TM is: The ability to identify threats early in the design process when they are less expensive to address Methodically prioritizing threats helps focus mitigation…
Recorded Webinars: How Does Mission Time Work with Proof Testing to Impact SIL Verification?
I have been asked this question many times by various clients over the years. This comes down to whether a perfect proof test is assumed or not. Let us remember that Mission Time is defined as the amount of time we expect a set of SIF equipment to run until a major overhaul is required, usually based upon the useful life of the devices. This time is set by the end user. Some companies are still not appreciating how greatly they will overstate the risk reduction of the Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) by assuming perfect proof testing since Mission Time then has no impact.
Therefore, what is perfect proof testing and what does this mean? We will discuss this among other things in this webinar.

Blog Entry: FMEA Evolution – Has the essence of FMEA been lost?
Has your FMEA entered the realm of the paperwork exercise that we force ourselves to do for no real reason than someone says we must do it? I have enjoyed analysis using FMEA. I first learned it existed when I was working for Ford. FMEA was the first Ford Technical…

Recorded Webinars: A Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (DFMEA) for Functional Safety
A Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (DFMEA) for Functional Safety-Design Deviation and Mitigation Analysis (DDMA)
A variation of the DFMEA method has evolved from the application of Functional Safety requirements to the DFMEA process. exida calls this method DDMA – Design Deviation and Mitigation Analysis. DDMA maintains the essential objective of DFMEA to identify potential design issues early in the development and make design changes to add important mitigations. DDMA substitutes information from functional safety engineering process steps thereby replacing work in the DFMEA. When expert knowledge is added to DDMA by using the ARCHxTM tool from exida to support this process, exida calls the method Design Expert Deviation and Mitigation Analysis (DexDMATM).
This webinar describes an evolution of the DFMEA process where some traditional items are not required and replaced by new items derived from Functional Safety standards.
