Abstract
When safety met security: Combining the best of both worlds - how to combine IEC 61511 (functional safety) and IEC 62443 (industrial cyber security)
"Welcome to the IET System Safety and Cyber Security Conference 2017.
"This year’s conference provides a full programme of presentations that address the two most significant problems for the engineering of complex systems. It is becoming increasingly hard to sustain confidence in the safe operation of applications that are faced with a growing array of criminal and state sponsored cyber attacks. We will identify the threats and present a range of mitigations.
"A distinctive feature of the IET conference is that is combines good practice presentations from industry-leading practitioners together with the latest research suggesting new ways of addressing the challenges that arise at the intersection between safety and cyber security.
"It is a unique forum, which also includes the policy makers who are helping shape national priorities in protecting critical infrastructures and in safeguarding our digital economy. There are special sessions on the legal implications of cyber security and on the regulatory context.
"We also have a strong social programme; providing significant networking opportunities together with exhibitors and demonstrations of new products – all helping to ensure the safety and security of complex applications.
"I look forward to meeting you in London."
Chris Johnson, Chairman
