Improving industrial automation information security

Customers / partners: Metso Oyj, Huurre, Landis+Gyr Enermet, STUK (Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority, Finland), Huoltovarmuuskeskus (National Emergency Supply Agency, Finland)

Challenge: Industrial automation systems are vulnerable to information security threats which lead e.g. to production disruptions.

Solution: VTT carries out information security analysis which comprises an extensive study of the level of information security at a production facility; for example user management, backup copying and network security.

Key benefits:

• Evaluation of current state of information security
  
• Guidelines for best security practices and directions for testing and monitoring
  
• Requirements for future system development
