Christoph Schmittner leads a team focused on safety and security engineering at the AIT – Austrian Institute of Technology, primarily in the automotive and industrial sectors. His work encompasses safety and security analysis methods, connected and safety-critical system architectures, and the interplay between safety and security in critical systems. He contributes to various international standardization groups, including IEC 61508, IEC 62443, ISO 26262, and ISO/SAE 21434, focusing on safety, security, and reliability standards.
🔹 Leading a team at AIT – Austrian Institute of Technology, specializing in safety and security engineering for automotive and industrial applications. 🔹 Pioneering in the development of safety/security analysis methods and the architecture of connected, safety-critical systems. 🔹 Navigating the complex interplay of safety and security in critical systems. 🔹 Actively shaping industry standards by contributing to international panels, including IEC 61508, IEC 62443, ISO 26262, ISO PAS 5112 and ISO/SAE 21434.
My current work is focused on safety & cybersecurity engineering, mainly in the automotive and industrial domain. Connected safety-critical system need protection against security risks and future applications like predictive maintainance or V2X communication will only increase the risks. Information security risks are a rising concern for software-based safety-critical systems. We need new development approaches and components for safe and secure systems.
