On Demand Webinar

Cybersecurity for Products in Explosive Atmospheres Webinar

EX Products and Cyber Threats

Intro 

Products used in potentially explosive atmospheres are, quite understandably, subject to strict rules and regulations to ensure they are safe. In recent years, technological advancements have allowed for improved safety via round-the-clock monitoring, remote supervision, and even automated systems which can ensure safety without human intervention. But this connected world, whether we realise it or not, comes with inherent risks. 

Why watch this webinar? 

If the operational data for a site is held on a server, how do we know that data is safe from exfiltration, tampering, or ransomware attacks? If a supervisor can log in remotely to activate a control valve, what’s to stop a malicious actor from doing the same? 

Key topics covered in this webinar

In this on-demand webinar, Andy and Alex explore: 

  • The risks these products are exposed to. 
  • Some potential mitigations. 
  • The legislative frameworks which mandate the minimum levels of cyber security testing and assessment that manufacturers must perform before placing their products on the market.  
“In essence we have two regulations in Europe. One of them is looking at the equipment which is going into explosive atmospheres, and the protection concepts around to prevent ignition from occurring or at least limit it. And then the second one is about the protection of workers and that is looking at the workplace and showing it's designed, operated and maintained. So that explosive risk is mitigated or at least reduced to an absolute minimum.”
