G+D and ADL: The way to secure IoT (IIoT)

Paving the way to secure digital transformation of manufacturing: Secure IoT (IIoT) Connection from G+D and ADL

Technology cooperation between Giesecke + Devrient Mobile Security and ADL Embedded Solutions makes secure solutions for networking of industrial machines available.

Siegen, 22.02.2018 ADL Embedded Solutions GmbH, a leading manufacturer of industrial embedded PC solutions
for use in harsh environments, announces the technology cooperation with Giesecke + Devrient Mobile Security.
Thanks to the concentrated know-how of G+D Mobile Security and ADL, customers now have the security to know
that the IIOT's infrastructures are equipped to deal with future threats.

From 27.Feb. to 01.Mar. G+D and ADL are exhibiting at the
Embedded World 2018, this comprehensive IIoT and SCADA security solutions
in hardware and software:

„Base“

CPS Remote
CPS Protect

„Advance“

CPS Remote
CPS Protect

„Security Option“

Crypto Core
SSD

The safety challenge:
Current status of cyber protection of industrial machines
  • Typically no security updates and
    / or patches for industrial PCs.

  • No third level protection similar to antivirus
    'software or a software firewall on industrial PCs
    due to unwanted system side effects such as
    bluescreens or loss of warranty.In addition,
    the safety lifecycle and update frequency are
    too short for the safety requirements in production.

  • Predefined passwords are usually not changed,
    although it is crucial for security that passwords
    are formulated individually and changed regularly.

  • Even an operating system that is ten years old
    or older and seems solid at first glance, but to which
    no patches have been applied, is vulnerable to cyber attacks.
  • As digitalisation progresses, more and more machines
    are becoming visible on the Internet. For example,
    the machine type and the version of the operating system
    can be seen. But whoever is visible is also vulnerable.

  • Industrial networks are becoming increasingly complex.
    And this complexity creates back doors that are easy
    to open. Attacks are usually made at the weakest point
    of a network or system.

  • Usually there are no rules for the concept-integrated security
    of PCs in manufacturing. If such rules exist, they are often
    inadequate or rarely standardized.

  • In addition, the effectiveness of security measures and tools
    decreases over time. Retrofitting is difficult and safety
    can only be provided at short notice.
From reactive to proactive:
Active cyber protection for industrial systems and environments

The G+D Security Suite, Active Cyber Protection, protects systems and environments from cyber attacks.
It makes devices invisible to the outside world without interfering with machines, medical devices, systems or processes.

The characteristics of G+D's active cyber protection are divided into multiple defense lines (in software and hardware):
The modular G+D components: CPS Remote, CPS Protect and the Crypto Core SSD are the latest hardware components,
which have emerged from the long-standing positive cooperation with ADL Embedded Solutions.

Intelligent, safe, disruptive:
Visibility solution awarded best emerging & disruptive technology by G+D

 

In 2016, G+D Mobile Security's Secure Industrial Visibility solution
was named Best Emerging & Disruptive Technology / Platform
at the Juniper - Future Digital Awards.
G+D Mobile Security has unparalleled experience in providing authentication
and security solutions for key business processes. With its Secure Industrial
Visibility solution, the company offers an innovative tool to a sector
where critical infrastructure protection will be critical in the future." (Juniper Research, 2016)

Medical Design & Outsourcing

Medical and industrial IoT is an evolving and alluring option for users —one that holds great promise for plans to pull medtech into Industry 4.0. Proponents of the technology say automation and data exchange will transform manufacturing floors into smart factories and help hospitals make the transition to efficiency and economy – without sacrificing care.

With regard to IoT devices, however, there are some challenges in how these devices fit into the overall infrastructure. JC Ramirez, director of engineering and product management at ADL Embedded Solutions, said it’s a mistake to think of industrial and medical in the same terms of IoT that you might think about commercial IoT. For Ramirez, industrial IoT is more about controlling the infrastructure and monitoring remote equipment.

Latency is a big issue, Ramirez said, one that doesn’t translate from commercial use. For example, updates and patches for those applications needs to happen quickly and predictably. “I don’t care if my refrigerator takes 10 hours or 10 minutes to update, but when it comes to manufacturing equipment, the systems must be reliable 24/7.”

TSN with EtherCAT

Dear customers and partners,

we are please to announce, that all of the latest ADL CPU-Boards are TSN-Ready:

The EtherCAT Group (ETG) have supplemented EtherCAT with Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) technologies, expanding the field of possible EtherCAT applications to include heterogeneous network environments. With the help of TSN, industrial controls can contact a number of different EtherCAT segments in real-time through Ethernet networks. In doing so, no changes to the EtherCAT slave devices are required: the EtherCAT Device Protocol, including all high performance characteristics, is fully preserved. Also expanded by TSN is the EtherCAT Automation Protocol (EAP) for communication between controls, which will result in even more deterministic performance on this level.
