Trusted CI Webinar: TIPPSS to improve Trust, Identity, Privacy, Protection, Safety and Security for Cyberphysical Systems, Monday July 28th @ 10am Central

Northeast Big Data Innovation Hub's Florence Hudson is presenting the talk, TIPPSS to improve Trust, Identity, Privacy, Protection, Safety and Security for Cyberphysical Systems, on Monday July 28th at 10am, Central time.

The challenge of providing end to end trust and security for operational technology systems has been a growing challenge and increasingly imperative. An IEEE effort was begun in 2016 to tackle that challenge, resulting in the publication of the first IEEE/UL TIPPSS standard (IEEE/UL 2933-2024) and the awarding of the 2024 IEEE Standards Association Emerging Technology Award to the TIPPSS standard working group.  The goal of the TIPPSS standard, which is envisioned to be a family of standards, is to improve Trust, Identity, Privacy, Protection, Safety and Security (TIPPSS) for cyber-physical systems, beginning with Clinical Internet of Things and expanding to research infrastructure, the energy grid, distributed energy resources, and more. In this webinar we will discuss the initial IEEE/UL TIPPSS standard for clinical IoT data and device interoperability, the details of the technical and process elements of the standard, and the opportunity to apply it to all operational technology. Future TIPPSS presentations planned include "TIPPSS for navigating a changing cybersecurity landscape at the Electron-Ion Collider and other scientific research facilities" in collaboration with Brookhaven National Laboratory at the ICALEPS 2025 conference (The 20th International Conference on Accelerator and Large Experimental Physics Control Systems) September 20-26, 2025 in Chicago, bringing the TIPPSS discussion to research infrastructure and the IT systems that support it. Trusted CI's initiatives in Secure by Design and the Trusted CI Operational Technology Procurement Vendor Matrix are very complementary to the TIPPSS initiative, and there is more we can do as a community in this effort together. Join us to discuss the imperatives and possibilities.
