PROFINET Security

Security is a topic that has to be constantly adapted to current developments. This is especially true against the background of increase networking in production facilities. PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI) set up a whitepaper about the security measures which is available for Download. Since every application has different security requirements, PROFINET defined three different Security Classes and the security measures are continuously incorporated into the corresponding PROFINET specifications. In addition, PI also offers training and other services on the subject and due to the increasing relevance of the constantly adaption of Security, PI set up a Cyber Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) as well.
