The Linux Foundation Member Summit

Linux functions as the foundational infrastructure within mission-critical systems across sectors such as energy, transportation, healthcare, and industrial automation. These systems are essential to our society and must operate reliably for decades while adapting to the evolving landscapes of Smart Cities and IoT. Interconnectivity, while enriching our lives, presents significant challenges in managing vulnerabilities and system upgrades, necessitating adherence to international standards and the maintenance of system compatibility and integrity. The Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP) project addresses these challenges by providing Industrial Grade Linux that enables robust, secure, and sustainable operations. Over the past seven years, CIP has demonstrated a commitment to meeting current operational needs and addressing future threats and challenges. This presentation will explore the value of CIP, focusing on its pivotal role in strengthening cyber resilience while enhancing system reliability. Attendees will gain insights into how utilizing CIP can help build sustainable systems, ensuring they are well-equipped to meet future challenges.
