Towards the protection of industrial control systems: conclusions of a vulnerability analysis of profinet IO

摘要

In current industrial automation systems, it is critical to share information among the different processes. Most automation projects involve complex communication systems. The Internet and the use of Ethernet networks in industrial environments make it possible to integrate management and logistics with production processes from anywhere in the world. This has many advantages, but it also increases security risks. The authors of this paper analyze the vulnerabilities of the Profinet standard.
