Alan Tatourian

Principal Engineer, Security Architect, Autonomous Transportation & Infrastructure Division, Intel Corporation

 Abstract:

In this talk I will focus on the integration of Functional Safety and Security into the Systems Engineering domain, both into its technical area and into the engineering management which are inseparable. I will describe history of safety and how to build systems resilient to failure, whether the failure is unintentional or caused with a malicious intent. Systems can be as big and complex as Space Shuttle or as small as a CPU. The concepts that I will present apply to all.
