Industrial security

A newly published white paper,
based on research carried out jointly
by AC drive technology expert
Vacon and global computer security
provider
F-Secure, provides a detailed and
up-to-the-minute insight into
security threats relating to industrial
automation systems.

The paper, more than a year’s
work by Vacon and F-Secure,
identifies and analyses the nature of
the threats as well as proposing
methods for increasing security.

After introducing the types of
malware and security threats that
relate to industrial automation
systems, the white paper goes on to
discuss the level of standardisation
in information security.
