Safety & Security Certification
As networking and automation increase, so too does the threat of cyber attacks. Malware such as Night Dragon and Stuxnet are the best-known examples of the devastating impacts that these malware attacks can have on control systems.
Since unauthorised access has been on the rise, awareness of these risks – and thus the need to ensure the security of safety functions – have increased drastically. The IEC 62443 standard on IT security in the industrial environment is currently being introduced to address this need.
However, parallel to considerations of cyber-security, stakeholders must also address functional safety as defined in the IEC 61508 standard in order to eliminate potential risks for people and the environment as far as possible.
At present, TÜV SÜD is the world's only service provider to offer combined Safety & Security certification that assesses both of the above aspects in parallel.
The current market situation increasingly calls for assessment of both aspects (Safety & Security). In practice, the large number of regulatory acts and standards give rise to new and complex requirements which, when combined, are often difficult to fulfil. We at TÜV SÜD help you to determine which standards are relevant to you and provide appropriate certification.
