Recorded Webinars: NERC CIP Cybersecurity: A Deep Dive into Power Grid Protection and Beyond
This webinar offers an in-depth exploration of the NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards, the enforceable cybersecurity framework for the power industry across the U.S. and parts of Canada. We'll break down the structure of these standards and their applicability, including the criticality tiers (Low, Medium, and High) that determine the required level of protection for a site based on its potential impact on the power grid.
You'll gain a clear understanding of the key requirements of NERC CIP and how they compare to the IEC 62443 cybersecurity standards, highlighting areas of alignment and key differences. Most importantly, we'll discuss the valuable takeaways from NERC CIP—not just for regulated power sites but also for other industries looking to enhance their own cybersecurity posture. Join us to learn how to apply these powerful insights to protect critical infrastructure.
Blog Entry: The Future of Safety Management: Embracing Digital O&M Data
In today’s world, having your Operation and Maintenance (O&M) data in a digital format allows for increased accessibility and traceability. Using more traditional recordings, such as on paper or with various Excel notebooks, increases the chances of error or loss of data. These methods also make it difficult to analyze…
Recorded Webinars: Más allá de la baja demanda: Entendiendo el verdadero modo de operación de tu SIF
¿Cómo sabemos cuál es el modo de operación de una SIF? Mucha gente en la industria de proceso asume que la SIF operará en baja demanda, lo cual no siempre es así, pudiendo traer como resultado que la SIF diseñada tenga un desempeño pobre en seguridad, y por lo tanto, un incremento en el riesgo del proceso.
Blog Entry: How IEC 62443 Can Help Achieve Compliance with the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)
Introduction: The European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is set to introduce mandatory cybersecurity requirements for “products with digital elements” , including those used in Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT) environments. This regulation, slated for enforcement beginning December 2027 , aims to enhance cybersecurity across supply chains…

Blog Entry: Más allá de la baja demanda: Entendiendo el verdadero modo de operación de tu SIF (Beyond Low Demand: Understanding Your SIF’s True Mode of Operation)
ESPANOL ¿Se calcula el SIL de una SIF de Demanda Baja igual que el de una SIF de Demanda Alta o Continua? Es muy importante identificar el modo de operación que es asignado a la Función Instrumentada de Seguridad (SIF). En la industria de procesos lo más común es que…
Recorded Webinars: Beyond “Forever”: Understanding Useful Life in Functional Safety
Is your product truly safe for its entire lifespan? While reliability engineering teaches us about "Useful Life"—the period before device failure rates rapidly increase—this crucial concept has often been overlooked in functional safety for electronics. In fact, failure rate predictions are only valid during the Useful Life.
When the FMEDA method was developed in the late 1980s, the prevailing belief was that electronic components, lacking moving parts, would last for decades. Consequently, the "Useful Life" metric wasn't initially a standard part of functional safety analysis.
However, decades of experience and research have revealed that electronic components do have useful life limitations that significantly impact long-term reliability. Many modern components come with specific useful life data that are vital for designers making critical component selections. Recognizing this, some advanced FMEDA tools now incorporate Useful Life metrics. This webinar will show an example of how Useful Life metrics are determined and applied for a simple design using an FMEDA tool.
White Paper: A Functional Safety Development Process Example
This paper describes an example new product development process designed to meet requirements of IEC 61508:2010 [1], the Basic Safety Standard for Functional Safety with a Systematic Capability Level 3 (SC 3). The example was done in the context of a microcomputer-based product which includes hardware and software done with…
