AI-based Continuous Monitoring

Each connected module now includes integrated AI functions: while this is standard in today’s smartphones, it remains rare in automation. Yet, such AI could serve as a foundation to detect communication issues caused by cyberattacks in real time.

Avoid crowdstrike errors

The cyber security of networked applications can be improved with the help of automatic attack detection systems or intrusion detection systems (IDS). However, as the Crowdstrike incident makes clear, an IDS is only suitable for use in industrial IoT applications under certain conditions.

Unknown attacker, known methods

Despite the effort required by company-specific and normative cybersecurity requirements, companies should ask themselves who the attacker could be, what their goals are and how they could proceed. The answers enable more effective defensive measures.

Wireless IoT retrofit via vSoM

With eDNP/8331, SSV offers a concept for virtual System-on-Module (vSoM) solutions including various wireless IoT modules.

There are weak points in every application

Virtually all IoT applications contain security vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit under certain conditions. Detailed knowledge of the respective weaknesses with knowledge of the course of possible cyberattacks is very helpful in fending off attacks.

Transparent and secure connection points

Connections between OT and IT networks require suitable methods and processes to create the necessary usage transparency. Furthermore, potential attack attempts should be detected at an early stage, prevented immediately and any recurrence ruled out.

Are industrial cloud applications secure?

Can industrial applications be moved to the cloud? In addition to time-critical aspects, the issue of cyber security is still a major obstacle to such a development. Klaus-Dieter Walter from SSV explains the problem in an interview.

Optimize OT/IT cybersecurity holistically

In many organizations, networked IT and OT infrastructures are two completely different worlds. Functionally, this will remain acceptable in the future. However, the new legal requirements for cyber security require a common working level.

OT/IT gateway enables virtual patching

With the 'IGW/936A', SSV has developed a special gateway for cyber-secure OT/IT integration tasks.

Cyber security becomes mandatory

Apart from a manageable number of very specific areas of application, the topic of cyber security has so far been of relatively little importance for many organizations. This is now likely to change for many providers and operators as a result of current legislative procedures.

Digital twin as an integration entity

The digital twin is an important component of the Industry 4.0 administration shell standard. However, the "Manufacturing-X" proof of concept for the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) is still pending. Proof of concept for IoT communication applications has already been provided.

The e-paper of issue 07/23

Communication and networking is the central theme of the current issue: first insights into the program of the TSN/A-Conference 2023, the cover story is all about SPE at field level and the "Digital Twin" series deals with the digital twin as an integration entity.

The e-paper of issue 06/23

How can digitalization and artificial intelligence help to make production processes sustainable? How can cobots and automated guided vehicles bring variety to everyday working life and how can they support people? Starting points in this issue.

The digital twin in practical use

A digital twin is not only a virtual instance of a physical object, but also a universally usable IT application for adapting the requirements of a wireless modem retrofit application, as in the practical example described.

The digital twin as an add-on

In the IoT world, digital twins are sometimes already included in the scope of delivery. With such a software extension as an accessory, every facet of a product, process or service can be mapped in terms of data and used in a variety of ways.

Model making of the twins

Digital twins require a rethink: physical interfaces and communication protocols are becoming less important. Model-based data interfaces for networking different twin categories within an IoT application are the current challenge.

IoT building blocks for edge gateway applications

SSV believes that the development of an industrial IoT application requires solid planning and a DevOps process chain with a development process that covers the entire life cycle of the application.

IoT components according to cybersecurity standard

The development of an industrial IoT application is still a major challenge due to its overall complexity. An adaptive building block concept for industrial IoT applications can speed up the development process and ensure security in accordance with IEC 62443.

Turning point in the threat situation

Anyone planning a new IoT application these days should also carefully analyze the potential cyber risks and design countermeasures. In many cases, such analyses also make sense retrospectively.

Underestimated digital risk

Recent cyber attacks highlight the increased risk of sabotage in industrial applications. Two attacks are examined in more detail.

Cyber resilience for IoT applications

In terms of resistance to cyber attacks, there is still a great need for action - especially in applications with fully automatic software update functions.

Bluetooth sensors in the 5G campus network

Until now, the relatively short radio range of Bluetooth has been a hindrance for sensor applications with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) in industrial environments. SSV meets this challenge with the help of local 5G mobile networks.

The tricky question of authentication

In electronic transactions, users and applications are automatically identified on a daily basis using various security factors. In many IoT applications, however, there is a gap between what is technically possible and what is actually used in practice.

Digitalization is permeating all areas of daily life. Some of these applications also provide innovative approaches for automation tasks. One example: the Corona Warn app.

Foundation of open app stores

Open app stores require virtualization technologies such as Docker containers to achieve the desired data consistency. But there is more behind these technologies. What potential could these technologies actually open up for automation?

The foundation of open app stores

An edge app store for the industry

At the end of April, the OWL Mechanical Engineering Initiative presented the Industrial APP Marketplace: an online platform for Docker containers. What is behind the Marketplace and what opportunities does it offer users?

The trend is moving towards edge AI

The focus of IoT application development is shifting away from the cloud and towards sensor technology. The associated use of machine learning algorithms directly in the sensor or its environment enables completely new approaches for the Internet of Things.

The dilemma of IoT security vulnerabilities

It should be a matter of course that identified and published security vulnerabilities in IoT products are immediately closed with updates. Due to a lack of technical possibilities, this is rarely the case. This option is unacceptable for industrial applications.

Condition monitoring based on AI

The requirements for an industrial sensor system used for condition monitoring tasks are changing dynamically. In addition to battery operation, OTA updates and secure end-to-end communication, AI-based edge data analyses are becoming increasingly important.
