The Nerve software platform serves as a secure foundation to manage software and devices in plants across the world. A lot of development time is being invested in testing to ensure Nerve is always up to date in terms of security.

Increasing the use of information and communication technologies in Industrial Control Systems (ICS) has exposed them to multiple threats for which they are unprepared, making them vulnerable to malicious attacks. By exploring the ever-changing field of cybersecurity, companies need to manage risks from an expanding attack surface.

To improve security, IT security requirements for industrial communication standards and development processes must now be carefully considered to make sure that they are protected, today and tomorrow. For any company in industrial communication in the future, security will be a requirement – not an option.

Threat Modeling is an important activity for the security of any system involving protected resources and communication interfaces. This article provides an overview of some of the Threat Modeling done for the CIP Security protocol within Volume 8 of the CIP Specification, as well as other additional technologies.

High-profile cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure has underlined the need for industrial organizations to prioritize cybersecurity. This article discusses the challenges industrial operators face and solutions that enhance cybersecurity with minimal effort.

Industrial industries and the people, communities, and entities they serve are facing greater risks from cyberattacks. Administrators and engineers who service industrial networks must be diligent in providing security measures to safeguard against attacks.

Ensuring that a data communications network is secure is a never-ending task, with new vulnerabilities being exposed every day. Methods to prevent unauthorised access and protect against a cybersecurity attack vary between industries. However, being proactive enables network administrators to prevent security breaches and be prepared if any incident does…

Convergence of OT and IT systems is placing higher demands on network reliability and performance. As cybersecurity threats challenging these systems become more sophisticated and impacting, industrial network owners are looking to integrated solutions to ensure both holistic security and business continuity.

Rather than fear the potential threat that come with IIoT projects, building security into the overall IoT architecture, and solving interoperability challenges will enable organisations to successful get their projects off the ground and take advantage of the innovative operational efficiencies they enable.
