SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSESSING AN IMPACT OF SOFTWARE ON INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS

摘要

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for assessing an impact of software on components of an industrial automation and control systems (IACS). In one example, an exemplary method comprises, selecting samples of software to be analyzed for capability to cause harm to the IACS, for each particular configuration of the IACS being tested, performing analysis to identify effects of the selected samples on the particular configuration, wherein the identified effects include at least causes and events resulting in disruption of operations of the particular configuration of the IACS, the particular configuration including at least components of the industrial system being simulated on a testing device, analyzing all identified causes and events, and based on the analysis, assessing the impact of the selected sample by determining a degree of influence of the software on the particular configuration.
