現場を支える次世代工場ITインフラの姿

摘要

Efforts towards Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) have become active. Various systems are connected by a network, and every device is connected via that network. According to the world view of IIoT, connections beyond the boundaries of the company will also occur not only under the devices but also the inter-factory communication between domestic and overseas factories, and the ecosystems. These are opportunities for new businesses to be born, but are also challenges to threats and new problems posed by such connections. Towards introducing IIoT, we are planning to introduce "IT infrastructure," necessary for a next-generation factory. That is, "optimum factory network security" that can deal with 'safe and secure operation' ‘flexible and scalable systems', and 'quick information gathering and correct judgment'. In this paper, we describe important aspects of next-generation factory network security, which have been obtained through technical examination, introduction to an actual factory site and operational works.%本稿では，今後さらに活発化していくIIoT化の動きに備え，次世代の工場IT インフラの課題および在り方をまとめ. 当社が提供しているSDNを活用した次 世代工場ネットワークセキュリティにつ いて述べた.今後，産業インフラを狙ったサイバー 攻撃などのリスクもより高度化していく ことが予想されるなか，当社ではIIoT における「つながる工場」に向けたお客 様の取組みが安全•安心に達成できるよ う，更なる最適ソリューションの提供に 努めていく.
