Book Security Management for Industrial Safety Critical Applications

Download or read book Security Management for Industrial Safety Critical Applications written by Raj Kamal Kaur and published by Springer. This book was released on 2024-08-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book introduces dependability (security metric) ideas, gives a general overview of the security analysis of Safety-Critical Systems (SCSs), explains why the study is necessary and defines key terms relevant to this research. It makes an effort to emphasize the significance of security in comparison to other dependability indicators and illustrates the key drivers of this research's purpose. The mathematical foundation of the security analysis process is briefly illustrated, and key mathematical terminology and concepts are presented that are crucial for the security evaluation of critical systems. This book's objective is to provide a thorough understanding of the security analysis process. It will be a research-focused book designed for undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral courses in software and cyber security. The fundamentals of reliability, security, metrics, and mathematical foundation have been covered in this book. Each technique's actual applications, along with benefits and drawbacks, are also shown. Applying each technique to the various case studies serves as a demonstration of how it works. By using the many case studies of safety-critical systems, the students can also learn different analysis approaches and how to model them. Students will be able to use these tools, in particular, on a case study of their choice to analyze system security. The book includes a comparison of various strategies and appropriate recommendations for further reading on these subjects. Moreover, this book's target audience includes software professionals who are interested in security analysis.

Book Security Management for Occupational Safety

Download or read book Security Management for Occupational Safety written by Michael Land and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-11-25 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How far would or should you go to feel secure? While everyone wants safety and security, the measures to achieve it are often viewed of as intrusive, unwanted, a hassle, and limiting to personal and professional freedoms. Yet, when an incident occurs, we can never have enough security. Security Management for Occupational Safety provides a framework through which occupational safety practitioners can critically examine their organizational environments and make them safer while assuming a best possible relationship between obtrusion and necessity. This book examines the diverse factors involved in occupational management—planning, people, budget, information, and preparedness—to present an accurately balanced picture of safety functions. It uses a critical thinking approach to interpreting data as a tool for providing more effective occupational safety management. The book discusses core security management competencies of planning, organizing, staffing, and leading while providing a process to critically analyze those functions. It stresses the benefits of using a methodical critical thinking process in building a comprehensive safety management system, addressing information security, cyber security, energy-sector security, chemical security, and general security management utilizing a critical thinking framework. The author doesn’t focus on how to secure, guard, or protect. While there are commonalities in many aspects of occupational risks and hazards, all are going to be unique. Instead, he guides you through each stage of critical thinking, emphasizing the ability to articulate the differing aspects of business and security management by reasoning through complex problems in the changing organizational landscape. The book not only provides fundamental concepts in security but it also creates informed, critical, and creative security managers who communicate effectively in their environment and make informed well-thought-out judgments to tailor a security program to fit a specific organization.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 0 e This is the proceedings of the first annual symposium of the Safety-critical Systems Club (The Watershed Media Centre, Bristol, 9-11 February 1993), which provided a forum for exploring and discussing ways of achieving safety in computer systems to be used in safety-critical industrial applications. The book is divided into three parts, which correspond with the themes of the three days of the symposium. The first - Experience from Around Europe - brings together information on developments in safety-critical systems outside the UK. The second - Current Research - consists of papers on large projects within the UK, which involve collaboration between academia and industry, providing techniques and methods to enhance safety. The final part - Achieving and Evaluating Safety - explores how methods already in use in other domains may be applied to safety, and examines the relationships between safety and other attributes such as quality and security. The papers identify the current problems and issues of interest in the field of safety-critical software-based systems, and provide valuable up-to-date material for those in both academia and industry. The academic will benefit from information about current research complimentary to his own, and the industrialist will learn of the technologies which will soon be available and where to find them.

Book Industrial Perspectives of Safety critical Systems

Download or read book Industrial Perspectives of Safety critical Systems written by Felix Redmill and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the Proceedings of the 6th Safety-critical Systems Sympo sium, the theme of which is Industrial Perspectives. In accordance with the theme, all of the chapters have been contributed by authors having an industrial af filiation. The first two chapters reflect half-day tutorials - Managing a Safety-critical System Development Project and Principles of Safety Management - held on the first day of the event, and the following 15 are contributed by the presenters of papers on the next two days. Following the tutorials, the chapters fa~l into five sub-themes - the session titles at the Symposium. In the first of these, on 'Software Development Tech nology', Trevor Cockram and others report on the industrial application of a requirements traceability model, Paul Bennett on configuration management in safety-critical systems, and Brian Wichmann on Ada. The next 5 chapters are on 'Safety Management'. In the safety domain, the fundamental business of management is increasingly being addressed with respect not merely to getting things done, but also to controlling the processes by which they are done, the risks involved, and the need not only to achieve safety but to demonstrate that it has been achieved. In this context, Gustaf Myhrman reveals recent developments for safer systems in the Swedish De fence, and Shoky Visram reports on the management of safety within a large and complex Air Traffic Control project.
