The increased digitalisation of safety-critical and other systems is leading to scrutiny of how those systems can be made more cyber resilient. Due to the ever-changing nature of both the systems themselves and their use cases, and the cyber threats and tools available to mitigate them, integrating this into existing Safety Management Systems is a recognised challenge.

But there is more change coming. Implementation of Artificial Intelligence, in particular the risks of Adversarial AI, on both the defence and attack side is taking shape with research prototypes in the field of transportation. These include evasion attacks to avoid detection and gamification of the input data sets to reduce the effectiveness of the whole system.

This webinar presents the latest research in Adversarial AI, as applied to drone recognition and evasion, human activity recognition and analysis, and mobility as service providers. Both the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework will be used to as a lens to view the impact of potential system-wide adaptation on the Safety Management System implementation.
