Working safely is about preventing accidents, limiting risks and creating a safe and healthy environment for employees and visitors. Whether it concerns the safe handling of hazardous substances in the laboratory, ensuring machine safety in industry, or protecting digital systems against cyber threats, each aspect of safety requires specific measures and protocols. Here you can read everything you need to know to ensure a safe working environment.
We are increasingly working digitally and that has many advantages. But there are also risks: cybercriminals are finding new ways to hack software and systems every day. FHI believes it is important that its members and the sector can work safely digitally. This prevents your company from coming to a standstill for a while due to a hack, but also prevents sensitive information from being stolen. The technology sectors are particularly interesting for cybercriminals. We must all ensure that we protect ourselves against this.
Friend or foe, that is the title of the first lecture. Liesbeth Holterman of Cyberveilig Nederland puts the audience on edge and opens the Industrial Cyber Security event. “I am not the expert,” she says. “You are.” And with a sense of drama she adds: “OT cyber security is finally on the agenda.” Liesbeth emphasizes the fact that cyber security does not stop at the Dutch border. “We have to tackle this together, at European level. Look at the map and you see that Europe is stuck between the United States, Russia and China. And what do we do when our friend (the US) suddenly turns out not to be our friend anymore?”
