The inter\u00adna\u00adtional series of stan\u00addards IEC 62443 \u201cIndus\u00adtrial com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtion net\u00adworks \u2013 Net\u00adwork and system secu\u00adrity\u201d create the appro\u00adpriate frame\u00adwork for indus\u00adtrial secu\u00adrity in automa\u00adtion. The range of topics includes risk analysis, best prac\u00adtices and the secure devel\u00adop\u00adment of prod\u00aducts (\u201csecu\u00adrity by design\u201d). For this devel\u00adop\u00adment, the stan\u00addard IEC 62443\u20134\u20111 describes require\u00adments for a so-called \u201cSecu\u00adrity Devel\u00adop\u00adment Life\u00adcycle Process\u201d (SDL process). A devel\u00adop\u00adment approach in which the secu\u00adrity fea\u00adtures of a system are sys\u00adtem\u00adat\u00adi\u00adcally con\u00adsid\u00adered starting in the design phase. The inten\u00adtion here is to ensure that all secu\u00adrity risks in a product are detected by means of mod\u00adel\u00adling the threats and that these risks are ide\u00adally already rec\u00adti\u00adfied in the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
T\u00dcV S\u00fcd assessed the devel\u00adop\u00adment processes of Pilz accord\u00adingly and checked them based on the stan\u00addard IEC 62443\u20134\u20111. \u201cThis check of the devel\u00adop\u00adment processes in their entirety for indus\u00adtrial secu\u00adrity helps to avoid secu\u00adrity inci\u00addents and the asso\u00adci\u00adated impacts \u2013 often dev\u00adas\u00adtating \u2013 on the com\u00adpany, employees and equip\u00adment to the greatest pos\u00adsible extent,\u201d explains Walter Schl\u00f6gl from T\u00dcV S\u00fcd. \u201cTo rule out weak\u00adnesses during the entire life\u00adcycle of the system and indi\u00advidual com\u00adpo\u00adnents, it is nec\u00ades\u00adsary to plan proac\u00adtively and to take into account secu\u00adrity aspects from the very begin\u00adning.\u201d The inde\u00adpen\u00addent cer\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion by T\u00dcV S\u00fcd cre\u00adates trust and gives plant oper\u00ada\u00adtors and owners the cer\u00adtainty that the pur\u00adchased product is com\u00adpletely secure and is con\u00adsis\u00adtent with the best prac\u00adtices from the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The result of the audit: The devel\u00adop\u00adment by Pilz meets all require\u00adments of the stan\u00addard and cor\u00adre\u00adsponds to the SDL process. Walter Schl\u00f6gl says, ret\u00adro\u00adspec\u00adtively: \u201cPilz pre\u00adpared for the audit very well. This is a sign that the devel\u00adop\u00adment of secure prod\u00aducts in accor\u00addance with IEC 62443\u20134\u20111 is taken very seri\u00adously by Pilz on all levels and is com\u00adpre\u00adhen\u00adsively embedded in the devel\u00adop\u00adment process, even in the details. Pilz thus has built a solid foun\u00adda\u00adtion for sub\u00adse\u00adquent product cer\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the next step, Pilz is plan\u00adning the cer\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion in accor\u00addance with IEC 62443\u20134\u20112. This stan\u00addard describes tech\u00adnical require\u00adments that must be imple\u00admented by the secu\u00adrity func\u00adtions of the prod\u00aducts. If these require\u00adments are met, Pilz offers its cus\u00adtomers the ben\u00adefit of being able to pur\u00adchase a product with secu\u00adrity and safety cer\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion \u2013 so with double the safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
