Investigation of Resource Constraints for the Automation of Industrial Security Risk Assessments
The current static risk assessment processes and concepts do not match the increasing requirements with regard to flexibility within the industrial automation domain. The amount of manual tasks and needed efforts for risk assessments are too high in order to adequately cover the rising rate of system reconfigurations. Analysing the typical risk assessment processes from the IEC 62443 will show resource constraints with regard to time, bottlenecks, and the main cost drivers. If the most rewarding process steps can be identified and automated, the overall performance of risk assessments can be enhanced to keep up with the demanded flexibility.
Leitfaden 5G-Campusnetze – Orientierungshilfe für kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen (german)
Mit dem Technologieprogramm PAiCE (Platforms | Additive Manufacturing | Imaging | Communication | Engineering) unterstützt das Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie (BMWi) innerhalb der Digitalen Agenda der Bundesregierung die Umsetzung der Leitvision „Industrie 4.0“ in die unternehmerische Praxis. In 16 Projekten arbeiten Unternehmen und Forschungseinrichtungen daran, den Einsatz innovativer digitaler Technologien in Produktion und Logistik in großen, praxisnahen Pilotprojekten zu erproben. Die über hundert Partner in den Projekten werden vom BMWi mit insgesamt 50 Mio. Euro gefördert. Zusammen mit den Eigenanteilen der Projektpartner hat PAiCE ein Volumen von über 100 Mio. Euro.
Towards Automated Security Evaluation within the Industrial Reference Architecture
The current developments towards the visions of Industrie 4.0 will create open and dynamic architectures being supervised by Industrial Automation and Control Systems. Due to this new connectivity and flexibility, future industrial production systems need to be inspected during all phases of the whole lifecycle from a security point of view as well. Frequent reconfiguration and adaptation based on smart services impose advanced requirements on the audits and certification with regard to security. To facilitate that, this work presents an approach for the modeling of security requirements and capabilities within the Industrial Reference Architecture and evaluates it based on the concrete system architectures of a number of industrial use cases. The result is the Sec4ICS tooling-based concept for the automated assessment of security-related functionalities within industrial systems.
