Virtual Community Oak Café post

INCOSE Systems Exchange Café - Oak Tree Café

INCOSE Oak SE Cafe

The next Oak café will be on Wednesday 15th March 2023 at 8.00am GMT 

Everyone is welcome

The topic this time will be on the important and emerging topic of Systems Security and Cyber Threats.  How does the Systems Engineering community address these issues?

Systems engineering plays a critical role in ensuring cybersecurity by integrating security requirements into the design, development, and operation of complex systems. A systems engineering approach involves a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to managing security risks throughout the entire lifecycle of a system. This includes identifying potential security threats, analyzing risks, defining security requirements, selecting appropriate security controls, and testing and verifying the effectiveness of these controls.

In the meeting we will discuss security, cyber security and trustworthy systems; we will create an understanding of the most common concepts and the standards governing this very complex topic.

Standards to consider:
Engineering Trustworthy Secure Systems (NIST SP 800-160v1r1)  - https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-160/vol-1-rev-1/final 
Common Criteria - https://www.commoncriteriaportal.org/cc/ 
Cybersecurity domain map - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/cybersecurity-domain-map-ver-30-henry-jiang/
and maybe consider the ISO/SAE 21434 Road vehicles — Cybersecurity engineering, as the process described in that standard can (maybe?) be used in every domain.

This discussion will be led by Zsolt Sandor, who after a brief introduction to the subject will invite discussion.  For INCOSE members please see the Yammer post for this session which contains a copy of the introduction material - see Oak Café - Security and Cyber discussion 

Please come along and share either your practical experience, your thoughts or your questions on this important topic
