Industrie 4.0 Security Guidelines Recommendations for actions
Introduction
PARTNER PUBLICATION - Machine manufacturers worldwide face great challenges in digitizing their industrial products and services. In particular, challenges regarding safe and secure implementations of Industrial IoT (IIoT) and Industrie 4.0 solutions are of utmost importance. Reliable and constantly secure operation of machines and systems connected worldwide is a fundamental challenge that must be addressed if IIoT/Industrie 4.0 is to be implemented successfully. For this purpose, VDMA provides its members with guidelines on “Industrie 4.0 Security”.
In order to meet the goals for the provision of sustainably and permanently secure systems for Industrie 4.0, the guidelines describe security considerations as a goal of equal rank right from the development and design process. Inaddition, the requirements of Industrie 4.0 security include examining hazards and risks prior to commissioning, managing cyber-risks during operation and maintaining the security function throughout the entire product lifecycle of connected machines and systems.
