Functional Safety & Cybersecurity

In today’s evolving industrial landscape, the convergence of functional safety and cybersecurity is essential for protecting critical systems from both operational hazards and sophisticated cyber threats. Traditional safety measures alone are no longer sufficient, as system failures or cyber vulnerabilities can lead to catastrophic accidents, regulatory non-compliance, financial losses, or even loss of life.

This GLOMACS training course provides a comprehensive and practical approach to integrating functional safety and cybersecurity, covering everything from risk assessment methodologies to implementation strategies. Participants will explore how cybersecurity vulnerabilities can compromise safety systems and how artificial intelligence is increasingly being used in the analysis and design of safety and security frameworks.

Through interactive workshops, case studies, and real-world scenarios, attendees will develop the expertise to design, analyze, and maintain systems that are both safe and secure, while ensuring full compliance with international standards such as IEC 61508, IEC 62443, and IEC 8800.

Key Highlights of This Functional Safety & Cybersecurity Training Course:

• Conduct comprehensive safety and security risk assessments to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
• Implement defense-in-depth strategies that effectively integrate functional safety and cybersecurity requirements.
• Apply key industry standards (IEC 61508, IEC 62443, and IEC 8800) to real-world safety and security challenges.
• Gain hands-on experience in safety and security architecture design through interactive workshops.
• Develop practical skills in assessment, verification, and validation techniques to maintain system integrity and compliance.

By the End of This Functional Safety & Cybersecurity Training Course, You Will Be Able To:

• Evaluate integrated safety and cybersecurity risks in industrial systems.
