Security-
Industry's New Challenge
Digital
Control Systems and their associated industrial networks/protocols are
extending the depth to which bi-directional communications extend
throughout an enterprise. In many cases, the underlying technology for the
business network and the process control network are the same.
Consequently, many of the risks that are found in today's corporate or
business environments can now impact the reliable operation of the process
control system. This page and the links highlight some of the
vulnerabilities, their sources and remedies that the modern integrated
control system needs to address.
Can't
Happen at your Site?- Eric Byres - Unless you’ve
been hiding out on a desert island for the
past year, you can’t help but notice the serious
impact hacking and viruses have had on corporate
information technology (IT) systems. At
least once a month, a new hacker exploits or Trojan
e-mail threatens to do considerableharm to the workings of a business network.
If hackers can do that much damage to a desktop PC,
what about that programmable logic controller (PLC)
or human-machine interface sitting on the plant floor?
