Protecting automation assets from virtual space threats (industrial security)
The open standards of network technology and communication in factory networks, as well as the use of Microsoft operating systems, have increased the risk of hacker attacks on automation and process control systems. This makes IT security an important aspect of advanced process automation. With the release of the V7 version, Siemens has provided comprehensive and robust measures for industrial safety, including:
Install virus scanning software on all computers
Effective management of Microsoft security patches
Create a secure network infrastructure through SCALANCE S security module for virtual personal network channels and encrypted data transmission
User management and access control through SIMATIC LOGON (such as password expiration, monitoring of login failures, etc.)
Automatically configure Windows firewall, register with SIMATIC security editor
Implement a defense in depth strategy based on the best practices defined in the PCS 7 safety manual. This strategy advocates the creation of a nested security structure, dividing the factory into multiple securely enclosed units with clearly defined and monitored access points.
