With the drive for digitalization and the Internet of Things the expression “Content is King”, coined by Bill Gates, has now been replaced by “Data is King”. This is especially TRUE in functional safety where the safety and reliability predictions generated from a Failure Modes, Effects & Diagnostics Analysis (FMEDA)…

Two common gaps exida encounters when evaluating vendor compliance against the IEC 62443-4-1, IEC 62443-4-2 and IEC 62443-3-3 standards are: Inadequate or unclear Security Guidelines. A lack of documentation on the security audit records (AKA logs). Improving compliance in these areas is also a very cost-effective means of improving security.…

As the number of major cybersecurity incidents in 2021 continue to rise many organizations are looking at assessing their cybersecurity risks with an increased focus. There are several methodologies outlined for conducting cybersecurity risk assessments including the IEC 62443-3-2 standard (for more information on the IEC 62443-3-2 methodology for risk assessment see: https://gca.isa.org/blog/cybersecurity-risk-assessment-according-to-isa-iec-62443-3-2) and Consequence-driven Cyber-informed Engineering (CCE) outlined by the Idaho National Laboratory (https://inl.gov/cce/ ). While the IEC 62443-3-2 provides options for considering or not considering likelihood, CCE is a fully consequence driven approach. This raises the question of whether or not cybersecurity risk assessments should consider likelihood? In this webinar we will compare the two different approaches to cybersecurity risk assessment looking at the advantages and disadvantages of each approach to provide practical guidance on cyber risk assessment best practices.
