Answering the new Seveso cyber Security expectations with integrated safety and cyber resilience strategies
In response to the most recent Seveso guidance (IN021), critical infrastructure and high-risk industry are expected to address cyber security not only as a business risk, but also as a safety issue. On 12 June, we invite you to join an afternoon of in-depth insights and proven practices on how to strengthen operational safety and resilience by integrating functional safety, cyber security measures, and process safety approaches like HAZOP.
With leading speakers from TÜV Austria, Clockworx, and Umicore, this event helps you to understand how regulations like IEC 61511, IEC 62443, and NIS2 intersect—and how these frameworks can be practically applied to meet Seveso expectations.
What you’ll learn:
- Understand what’s new in the Seveso expectations around cybersecurity (based on IN021)
- Learn how business continuity, incident response and failsafe engineering relate to cyber safety
- See how cyberattacks can jeopardise safety functions (e.g. pumps, pressure systems) through real-world examples
- Discover how functional safety and cybersecurity can be co-engineered
- Get insights from leaders who’ve tackled OT security in nuclear, chemical and manufacturing contexts
- Ask your questions directly during the networking moments and talks
