Introduction
As industrial systems become increasingly interconnected and automated, the integration of functional safety and cybersecurity has become a critical requirement. Functional safety ensures that systems operate reliably and safely under defined conditions, while cybersecurity protects these systems from external threats that could compromise their functionality or safety. This Integrating Functional Safety and Cybersecurity in Industrial Systems training course provides a comprehensive approach to understanding and implementing functional safety and cybersecurity in industrial environments. Participants will explore the principles, standards, and best practices for integrating these disciplines, with a focus on risk assessment, system design, compliance, and real-world application. By combining theoretical knowledge with practical exercises, this course equips professionals to safeguard industrial systems against both operational failures and cyber threats.
