White Paper: Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Strategies Based on Process Safety Risk Assessment Techniques
Accurately identifying and analyzing potential sources of risk for both process safety (e.g., equipment failure, human performance issues) and cybersecurity (e.g., targeted attack, unintentional mistake) scenarios are core parts of an effective loss prevention program. The recently published CCPS book Managing Cybersecurity in the Process Industries, A Risk-based Approach discusses…
Blog Entry: Evolution of Engineering Design – Advanced Diagnostics vs Redundancy
I recently studied the design changes made on the T series of old British cars (a hobby) made by the MG Company in England from 1936-1955. Models progressed over that time period including the TA, TB, TC, TD, and TF. I noted a strange looking two position switch on the…

Recorded Webinars: How does the MITRE ATT&CK framework align with Cyber PHA?
With the focus on cybersecurity at an all-time high, risk assessments are being increasingly completed for industrial applications. One of the first steps in the risk assessment process is to specify the methodology that will be used. The IEC 62443-3-2 Cybersecurity Risk Assessment methodology for initial and detailed risk assessment has been commonly adopted for industrial applications. This approach is often referred to as “Cyber PHA” because it follows a similar approach to traditional Process Hazard Analyses already in use in the chemical industries. Another methodology frequently used for cybersecurity risk assessments is the MITRE ATT&CK Framework. This framework focuses on the different techniques that adversaries use to gain knowledge about target systems, gain access to and compromise systems before ultimately achieving their desired impact. This webinar will provide a brief introduction to both approaches and explore the similarities and differences in the appro #cyber aches. Lastly, practical examples of how to combine the methodologies will be provided.
News Item: Video: The Importance of Functional Safety Assessments
It’s an interesting fact that many end users and engineering companies that exida has talked to have not or do not undertake Functional Safety Assessments (FSAs). Why is this? Many do not realize and/or understand the true purpose of and benefit of performing FSAs. The IEC61511 standard identifies 5 FSAs…

Recorded Webinars: Using FMEDA to Predict Electronic Design Failure Rates
The design of a new product is complex with many tradeoffs - make the design work properly, meet cost targets, and meet production schedules. But some design engineers do not consider another important parameter – how does the design fail?
This webinar explains the FMEDA (Failure Modes Effects and Diagnostic Analysis) methodology created in the late 1980s. The concepts and steps are presented using a simple spreadsheet example. Component Data requirements are presented.
