More ICS security expected through IoT
IoT Industry 4.0 ICS

The digitization of industrial infrastructures continues to increase, so that 55 percent of companies are confident that the Internet of Things will significantly change the security status of industrial control systems (ICS). According to current Kaspersky studies, 20 percent of those surveyed have already placed an increased focus on IoT-related incidents in their security planning, but security solutions against such threats have not yet been adequately implemented. Industry is becoming increasingly digital and is implementing Industry 4.0 standards - despite the market weakening as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to McKinsey & Company, 90 percent of the skilled workers plan within the manufacturing and supply chain ...

Industry 4.0: critical IT interfaces
Industry 4.0 work

Trend Micro research reveals serious weaknesses in critical IT interfaces for Industry 4.0. Protocol gateways represent a security risk for intelligent industrial environments. Trend Micro today publishes research results that reveal a new type of security gap in protocol gateway devices that could expose Industrie 4.0 environments to critical attacks. These devices, also known as protocol converters, enable machines, sensors, actuators and computers within industrial environments to talk to one another and to connected IT systems. Protocol gateways can be exploited by attackers as the weakest link in the chain. “Protocol gateways rarely receive individual attention, but they are of great importance for Industry 4.0 environments. You can from ...

Attack methods on critical Industry 4.0 environments
Trend Micro News

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 ...
