Use anomaly detection to boost industrial cyber security
The Industrial Anomaly Detection solution enables security-related incidents, such as unauthorized intrusions and malware, to be identified and countermeasures to be taken (photo). The software can be pre-installed on an industrial PC and easily integrated into industrial environments, or it can be enabled to run on network components from this manufacturer, such as its multiservice platform Ruggedcom RX1500 with Ruggedcom APE. It is said to be especially well-suited for companies in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, water- and wastewater-treatment sectors. The anomaly-detection system incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) with machine learning, to configure the system (for instance, automatically analyzing data traffic in the network in the “learning phase,” so it can then reliably detect anomolies that might indicate intrusion or data threat by hackers). If deviations are detected, the system automatically sends an alarm to users. Depending on the criticality, the incidents can be dealt with by onsite experts or external security specialists. — Siemens AG, Nuremburg, Germany
