The TÜV Functional Safety Program also offers trainings referring to the topic Security Management.

This training is designed to introduce the participants to the larger security picture as well as the specific requirements of facility security from defining threat, vulnerability and risk to the principles that have to be applied in the design of a security solution. Specific hardware and software is intentionally left out of the content as it is not the intention to focus on any particular brand or type of equipment/software. Every attempt has been made to leave the participants with an ability to understand security needs, appreciate the security environment, and be able to identify the elements of an integrated security solution from the stand point of different industrial customers. The training uses real life examples for illuminating the examples that are put forth.
