Industrial Security
"Security by Obscurity" is out and "Defense in Depth" is in...
Companies once thought that their automation systems were secure from hackers and viruses because of their reliance on "proprietary" communication and isolated networks ("Security by Obscurity"). However, an increase in control system cyber security incidents, such as those caused by the Slammer Worm in 2003, have caused companies to elevate the priority of manufacturing and control systems security and adopt a layered "Defense in Depth" philosophy.
As the only company who manufactures automation hardware, software and networking equipment, Siemens is in a unique position to help you create a program for addressing industrial network security in a way that meets the demanding requirements of both process control and IT.
