DIGITIZATION MAKES IOT AND IT NETWORKS MERGE
Communication within classic manufacturing and IT networks already took place in closed systems. Industry 4.0 requires new security concepts.
A LOOK AT CYBERCRIME HISTORY IN 2017: THE SCANDINAVIAN LOGISTICS COMPANY MAERSK, ACTIVE IN OVER 130 COUNTRIES with around 89,000 employees worldwide, fell victim to a ransomware attack: 45,000 clients and 4,000 servers had to be rebuilt, and the damage amounted to several hundred million USD. In the previous year, the German Federal Criminal Police Offi ce recorded more cybercrimes than ever before. More than 146,000 off enses were recorded. The clearance rate is just under 30%. Cybercrime continues to increase dramatically on a global scale; criminals are constantly on the lookout for new opportunities to attack and threaten massive disruptions to global supply chains.
Modern manufacturing processes in hybrid environments particularly vulnerable A challenge facing Industry 4.0: Monitoring and control systems are often in use for many years without continuous security updates. Either such patches are not available, changing the software is not without risks, or can invalidate existing certifi cates. When connected to an IP network, these machines pose a security risk. This makes security a
challenge for OT systems. Such network connectivity means that facilities provide a larger attack surface. In the lives of many companies committed to digital
transformation, traditional information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) are converging. The latter describes hardware and software that controls physical endpoints, industrial equipment, processes, and events. The OT network monitors environmental conditions via sensors, recognizes objects or triggers targeted actions according to
specifi cations. For example, manufacturing
environments in the automotive industry can be automated, buildings can be monitored, or energy consumption in offi ces can be reduced. Smart sensors exchange data and even apply their own algorithms. In this way, they not only create signifi cantly more effi cient production, but they also change the business models of many companies.
Integrated security concepts required The abbreviation of IT stands for information technology. It combines hardware, software, and IT services such as cloud services. This includes devices such as servers, PCs, mobile devices, printers and
