Abstract

Well...This lecture is about IT-securityrisks in factories and how you can prevent them. Usually, with a crowd like the one at WTH, I guess most know how to run a network with firewalls, vlans and ACLs etc,etc... It's the same here, but for factories you probably need to know how the factory equipment work. PLC's, Distributed I/O's and fieldbuses are all special types of equipment that no sysadmin has encountered before in an office lan (well, perhaps bus-networks ;P) . I'll explain what a Programmable Logic Controller, distributed I/O and a fieldbus is, how to implement them and how and why they are used. We'll look at pictures from SSAB (swedish steel AB) of equiptment in use at the factory floor. I'll also talk about how they did when they created their intranet (office and industrial) and the filosofies behind their decisions. Modern day threats, such as viruses or ddos's and the human factor will be a key part in my lecture. Profibus will also be a major point in my presentation. It's a new standard fieldbus that enables easier wireing and has other benefits aswell. The PLC's that I'll talk about are ABB's AC800M* and Siemens Step 7**. I'll also talk about programming a productionline using logic operators (AND OR ELSE and so forth..). That will be brief, since that's doesn't really touch upon what this lecmore in-depth after the lecture if anyone wants it.
