Open Source Summit + AI_dev Japan 2024

Linux is the foundational infrastructure for mission-critical systems across sectors like energy, transportation, and healthcare. These systems must operate reliably for decades while adapting to evolving Smart City and IoT landscapes. Interconnectivity brings challenges in managing vulnerabilities and upgrades, requiring adherence to standards and maintaining system integrity.

The Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP) project addresses these challenges by providing an Industrial Grade Linux platform for robust, secure, and sustainable operations. Over 7 years, CIP has demonstrated a commitment to meeting current needs and addressing future threats.

This presentation will explore CIP's pivotal role in strengthening cyber resilience and enhancing system reliability. It will also delve into the CIP Security Working Group's efforts to align the platform with the IEC 62443 standard for industrial control system security.

The key topics covered will include ensuring IEC-62443-4-x compliance, bridging gaps for updates and long-term support, traceability between code, tests, and requirements for standards compliance. The presentation will also discuss CIP's role in building sustainable and cyber-resilient critical infrastructure, integrating security throughout the CIP ecosystem using the IEC 62443 framework, and the benefits of this alignment for improved risk management and threat mitigation.

Attendees will gain insights on how CIP can help build future-ready, cyber-resilient systems
