This describes the pro\u00adtec\u00adtion of pro\u00adduc\u00adtion and indus\u00adtrial plants from manip\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion or misuse \u2013 whether inten\u00adtional or oth\u00ader\u00adwise. If attackers have the oppor\u00adtu\u00adnity to pen\u00ade\u00adtrate automa\u00adtion and con\u00adtrol sys\u00adtems, the safety of the plant, and ulti\u00admately the safety of human and envi\u00adron\u00adment also, can be put at risk. One example is a remote con\u00adnec\u00adtion to a con\u00adtainer for hydrogen pro\u00adduc\u00adtion, to check the system status. This con\u00adnec\u00adtion must be pro\u00adtected, oth\u00ader\u00adwise the safety-related part of the system can be con\u00adtrolled or mod\u00adi\u00adfied without autho\u00adri\u00adsa\u00adtion. The Secu\u00adri\u00adty\u00adBridge indus\u00adtrial fire\u00adwall from Pilz pre\u00advents this. Within the con\u00adtrol net\u00adwork, all con\u00adnec\u00adtions between the engi\u00adneering, diag\u00adnostic or con\u00adfig\u00adu\u00adra\u00adtion tools and the con\u00adtrollers are pro\u00adtected against manip\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion and enable secure external con\u00adnec\u00adtions.

Access per\u00admis\u00adsions can also be con\u00adtrolled reli\u00adably and indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adally, because all oper\u00adator actions can only take place once per\u00admis\u00adsion has been checked and approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group link-pilz is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pilz.com\/en-INT\/products\/industry\/hydrogen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">More about safety solu\u00adtions for hydrogen<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If we are to exploit the poten\u00adtial of hydrogen as the energy car\u00adrier of the future, it must be com\u00adpletely safe to handle.
