Rockwell Automation strengthens industrial control system security

By Mike Santora | April 1, 2019

Industrial-Congtrol-System-Security-imageCommunications between industrial control devices have minimal protection today. This leaves them vulnerable to threats like malicious tampering and incidental system changes that can stop production or injure workers. New solutions from Rockwell Automation deliver built-in security based on globally accepted security standards to protect control-level communications and overall system integrity.

The Allen-Bradley ControlLogix EtherNet/IP communication module is among the first industrial devices to use the CIP Security protocol from ODVA. The protocol helps make sure only authorized devices are connected in industrial operations. It also helps prevent tampering or interference with communications between those devices. CIP Security is the first industrial automation protocol to support transport layer security (TLS), the most proven security standard available.

Also, the newly enhanced Allen-Bradley ControlLogix 5580 controller is the world’s first controller to be certified compliant with today’s most robust control system security standard, IEC 62443-4-2. The standard defines the technical security requirements for industrial automation and control system components. This certification builds on the 2018 certification of the Rockwell Automation Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) to the IEC 62443-4-1 standard.

Rockwell Automation is showcasing its strengthened product portfolio and other solutions at Hannover Messe 2019, April 1-5 in Hannover, Germany. The products and a demonstration of CIP Security used to prevent an industrial security attack can be found at the Cisco booth (hall 6, stand F30) and at the ODVA booth (hall 11, stand E58).
