The basis of the IT security portfolio is hardware security with data encryption and protection functions for CPU or NCU.
PCs as operator and control elements and their connection to networks for Teleservice and remote maintenance boost the need for security concepts to protect against undesired data access. Siemens A&D will present new concepts for security consulting and services at this year's EMO trade fair. Siemens' IT Security Consulting service supplements IT security concepts for hardware with consulting, auditing, configuring and implementation of security concepts for production machinery. The range is aimed equally at the manufacturers and users of mechanical equipment. Siemens is available as a service partner for existing machines and provides support in adapting to new security requirements.
IT security is also practiced right from the start at the component level. Thus the PCUs and NCUs are configured in such a way as to reduce potential points of attack for undesired access to control and machine data. In addition, all control components are supplied with firewalls. Based on the Microsoft "High-Security Desktop" standard, only those services are active and only those applications are installed that are required for operating the plant.
