Title: Identify cybersecurity considerations throughout the stages in the manufacturing design process.
Course: Cybersecurity in Manufacturing, Advanced (13002-IV) > Section: Analyzing Automated Production Processes

Identification includes cybersecurity considerations such as the following:

- Secure design principles
- Security requirements
- Threat modeling
- Source code review
- Security testing
- Incident response

Identification should include a review of the manufacturing design process, particularly the inclusion of cybersecurity considerations at each of the following stages:

- Identify the requirements and constraints of the design problem.
- Evaluate the requirements and constraints of each solution to the design problem.
- Determine the objectives for an engineering test of the solution to the design problem.
- Test the solution to the design problem, using mathematical, conceptual, and/or physical modeling, simulating, and optimizing.
- Evaluate the test results.
