Industrial Cyber Security: Why IT & OT collaboration is no longer an option but a necessity
Since the mid-1990s, many industrial companies have interconnected their industrial control systems (ICSs) to improve productivity, maintenance, and safety in the operational environment. Some of this interconnectivity was to the Internet. While, this connectivity helped to…
Medical Device Safety and Security: Obvious but not easy to achieve
With accelerating technology innovation, medical devices are becoming more sophisticated and more connected. Consequently, as in most mission-critical systems, safety and security are two increasingly vital requirements in medical device design. In April 2018, the U.S.…
Control system cybersecurity is being discussed but still with misunderstandings
I attended a number of sessions at the February 24-27, 2020 RSA 2020 Cybersecurity Conference in San Francisco. One of the sessions really struck me as getting it right. The session I found most compelling was with…
Linux vs QNX: 6 Considerations When Safety Certifying Embedded
Safety-certification of an embedded device can take a year or more and cost millions of dollars. Yet as many as 60% of products that companies attempt to safety certify fail to receive the desired stamp of…
Supply Chain Economics and Cybersecurity
Let’s face it, supply chains are complex and distributed. Operations matter, and for some it is truly a miracle how many coordinated parts come together into a seamless operation. In fact, some manufacturers have tens of…
