Cyber Resilience and its impact on Machinery
This presentation examines how new legislation and standards are reshaping machine design, implementation, and operation across the full lifecycle. With cybersecurity now integral to functional safety, the session outlines the impact of the EU Cyber Resilience Act, NIS2, and the forthcoming Machinery Regulation, alongside IEC 62443. Cyber resilience is no longer optional but a core design requirement, demanding secure architectures, early risk assessment, and protection against intentional misuse. Emphasis is placed on lifecycle thinking: secure by design development, controlled access and diagnostics in operation, and disciplined processes for updates, patching, documentation, and collaboration to ensure safety, availability, and reliability.
