ENTERPRISE IOT SECURITY CHALLENGES FACING INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION

March 1, 2016

Hi risk Control systems technology should not be exposed to Public Internet level threats. Low risk control related systems (for e.g. a Historian, or SCADA system) need to be on the same platform as proven web technology before it can be public Internet facing. The applications themselves may need to be upgraded / rebuilt from the ground up as verifiable code and
implementing best practices such as strong assemblies in .NET code . Trials and Guidelines for implementing The U.S. SKPP (Secure kernel protection profile) or EURO-MILS equivalent specification on commercial software development platforms are needed. Ensure that any COTS (commercial off the shelf software) application has been certified as checked for CWE compliance (Common weakness enumeration). Ensure that only approved open source components are installed as part of the COTS software.
