The aim of this article is to identify and discuss some issues related to functional safety and security management in hazardous industrial plants. The safety functions are to be realised using the electric / electronic / programmable electronic systems (E/E/PESs) or the safety instrumented systems (SISs) that are designed and operated respectively according to IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 requirements in life cycle. Although the role of functional safety solutions in effective reducing and controlling the individual and/or societal risks has been widely recognised, the substantial problems emerge when E/E/PEs or SISs operate in industrial distributed computer networks. Thus, the security-related problems appear that can introduce some additional risks. An integrated systemic functional safety and security concept is proposed, which includes general requirements as well as appropriate using specified methods and international standards.
