How To Improve The Security Terminal Awareness Of Industrial Control Systems In Response To The New Challenges Of The Industry 4.0 Era?

Jul 23, 2019

Compared with traditional IT systems, Industrial Control System (ICS) has a complicated structure, more components, levels, and special communication protocols, and is closely integrated with production, making its security protection difficult. In addition, enterprises have weak awareness of industrial control systems and limited awareness of attack techniques, which may also lead to large security risks in industrial control systems. In recent years, the safety of industrial control systems at home and abroad has occurred frequently. According to the tracking and statistics of the National Information Security Vulnerability Sharing Platform (CNVD), since 2011, the vulnerabilities discovered and released in the industrial control field have been increasing year by year.

Industrial control systems are control systems that have a direct impact on the physical world. Their security vulnerabilities can cause financial losses and may pose significant risks to human health and environmental safety. However, the safety of industrial control systems has long been in business. The weak link in operation and maintenance security. As more and more companies begin to adopt more intelligent sensors, the factory connection will also expand to the lower level, further driving the additional security requirements of the industrial control system equipment level. ADI is committed to developing a portfolio of security products for industrial automation applications to make it easier to adopt industrial control system security solutions and build trust in the terminal to accelerate the arrival of Industry 4.0.
