Standards, Changes and Supply chain
Lucia Capogna
Cyber Security and Software Assurance Lead, SYSTRA Ltd
Digitalisation and technologically advanced solutions have exponentially increased in the last decade in every sector and industry. The complexity of software-based solutions, their integration and the software acceptance across the supply chain is one of the biggest challenges for both integrators and asset owners. Failing to manage the supply chain and acceptance of software (including COTS and bespoke implementations) can result in system failure with potential safety impacts. A few examples, and resultant impacts are outlined within this presentation.
How are software standards and certification requirements supporting upgrades and enhancements of high-integrity software used in safety critical application? Should these requirements be strengthened? Are standards keeping pace, supporting and managing the introduction and the integration of new technology (including AI)? The presentation aims to provide an overview of system and software frameworks that answer these questions.
