Functional safety and Cybersecurity technologies as well as requirements of the relevant standards will continue to be of great importance for all automation technology industries.
More complex software and hardware in safety systems as well as digital innovations and developments offer great challenges. Safety and security competencies, developments and trends will continue to play a significant role for the smart safety/security era.
Thus, experts, managers, engineers and employees must prepare for the future. Their competencies as well as qualification profiles must expand and adapt to technical developments in the professional world.
This is the future – expanding professional perspectives.
TÜV Rheinland offers a portfolio of events, trainings, workshops and information sessions, combining Functional Safety and Cybersecurity expertise.
