- Abstract
eMaintenance provides many new possibilities and opportunities to increase the productivity of industrial systems, yet decrease resources and administrative costs. To accomplish this though, it is often required to rely on some network connectivity with the system of interest. It is this network connectivity capability that runs the risk of being interdicted, thereby providing a window of opportunity, commonly referred to as a vulnerability, for a threat to exploit. This in itself is not necessarily new, but the applicability to eMaintenance is not well understood. To this end, this article answers the question of whether or not the integration of safety and security is of value to the eMaintenance domain by first providing a number of comparisons and contrasts between safety and security. This article then also introduces a pragmatic way to integrate safety and security called the harmonized protection conceptualization, which helps to assist with visualizing and organizing safety and security measures relative to a product/system design. As such, this conceptualization is used to assist with the final conclusions as to whether or not the integration of safety and security is a viable and necessary consideration within the eMaintenance domain. Besides addressing the question of the practicality and usefulness of integrating safety and security, this article will also address past research and noteworthy projects that have previously attempted this endeavour. Some general safety and security aspects of eMaintenance will also be addressed.
