Attack methods on critical Industry 4.0 environments
In collaboration with the Politecnico di Milano (Polytechnic University of Milan), Trend Micro has prepared a research report on new attack methods on critical Industry 4.0 environments. Intelligent manufacturing systems are capable of far more than just performing the tasks for which they are normally used. It is precisely this aspect that makes intelligent manufacturing systems interesting for attackers who, among other things, can try to smuggle malicious code into the system undetected. The potentially weak links in the security chain include the Manufacturing Execution System (MES), human-machine interfaces (HMIs) and individually adaptable IIoT devices. In the endangered systems ...
