Location: remote attendance
Supervisor(s): Sebastian Fischmeister

Abstract

As cyber-physical systems become increasingly under threat, it is critical to have frameworks to assess these threats. One such framework is the Harmonized Threat & Risk Assessment Methodology (TRA) developed by the Canadian Government. The TRA outlines a process for evaluating assets, threats, and vulnerabilities to determine the remaining residual risk. The seminar aims to demonstrate how to conduct a threat assessment using the TRA, with the thesis project as an example. The seminar also discusses IoT security standards to inform the safeguard selection process.
