Cybersecurity has become a significant and credible threat to process safety. The consequences of cyber-attacks are well understood for business networks (e.g. data theft, ransomware, denial of service), but for Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) there is the potential for even more severe consequences because IACS control physical systems in the real world. Case studies will be used to demonstrate how cyber-attacks on IACS can cause damage to equipment, the environment, and safety. This webinar will look at how cybersecurity is impacting process safety, considering the impact of cybersecurity events on traditional strategies for safeguarding and risk assessment, as well as introduce key steps for managing cybersecurity risk.
One essential requirement of a premier global failure rate data source is the need to keep up with engineering technology. To accomplish this, exida has a team of full-time experts who meet with committees, perform research, and communicate with manufacturers worldwide. In this third quarter release of exida's Component Reliability…
