Other Considerations for Applying Security into Critical Infrastructure Systems – Kate Stewart – PSW #769
Over the last few years, the trend to use Open Source has been migrating into safety-critical applications, such as automotive and medical, which introduces system-level analysis considerations. In a similar fashion, these components are now being considered for the evolution of critical infrastructure systems. In the US, security concerns have prompted some emerging best practices, such as increased transparency of components, via software bill of materials (SBOMs), but this is not the only aspect to keep in mind.
