Compliant Security
for Power Plants
CHALLENGES FOR PLANT OPERATORS
Many power plants and industrial plants are not equipped to handle malware targeted on industrial automation and control systems (IACS). Especially PLC, HMI and SCADA systems are vulnerable targets as cyber attacks on such systems could lead to a massive disruption in operation or even outage of the entire power plant. These direct impacts on the power supply often come along with economic losses as well as loss of reputation and trust.
