The digitalization and networking of machines and systems is accompanied by an increasing dependence on reliable software. Security incidents are already causing production downtime (30%), safety hazards (2%) and quality losses (19%) (see VDMA Industrial Security Study).
Vulnerabilities in the software are a frequent cause of security incidents. The risks of such incidents are constantly increasing due to the integration of new functions (e.g. predictive maintenance, OPC UA). New software functions are not always integrated with the necessary knowledge. Security is often only integrated at the end, if at all. This is precisely where Security by Design comes in: The overarching goal is to ensure that security is considered in the development process right from the start. With the right security by design concept, you can...
- Consider security on the basis of IEC 62443 over the entire product life cycle.
- Better recognize security risks.
- Understand the principles of secure software architecture.
- Apply the principles of secure implementation.
- Ensure secure deployment.
- Design the use of a system securely.
