    【Chemical machinery equipment network hot attention ] With the development of computer and network technology, especially the in-depth integration of informatization and industrialization and the rapid development of the Internet of Things, industrial control system products increasingly adopt general protocols, general hardware and general software.
    By connecting to public networks such as the Internet in various ways, threats such as viruses and Trojan horses are spreading to industrial control systems.

    In November 2009, the "Stuxnet virus" produced by the US NSA specifically aimed at Iran's uranium enrichment facilities, through the manipulation of specific types of inverters, greatly reduced its production efficiency, directly causing its research and development progress to be back for many years.

     

    On December 23, 2015, hackers from Russia used loopholes in the SCADA system protocol to attack Ukraine's power control system, causing 7 110KV substations and 23 35KV substations to fail, and 80,000 users were power off for several hours.

     

    In July of this year, a Russian hacker contacted an employee of the Tesla factory and promised him $1 million to install malware on Tesla’s internal network so that the internal network could be attacked so that the security team When busy responding to attacks, malicious software is used to steal trade secrets in exchange for ransom.
    This attack was eventually reported by insiders, but fortunately it was unsuccessful.

     

    These security incidents all belong to the field of industrial information security, and what has caused widespread concern is only the tip of the iceberg.
    With the application of new technologies such as intelligent manufacturing, cloud manufacturing, and industrial Internet, the manufacturing capacity has been greatly improved, while the problem of information security protection in industrial control systems has gradually become prominent.
    According to a report from the National Internet Emergency Response Center, in 2019, a total of 51.
    51 million malicious sniffing incidents targeting industrial equipment in my country were discovered.

     

    Industrial control system (ICS) is a business process control system that is composed of various automation control components and process control components that collect and monitor real-time data, which together ensure the automated operation, process control and monitoring of industrial infrastructure.
    Its core components include SCADA, DCS, PLC, RTU, IED and interface technology.

     

    At present, industrial control systems are widely used in my country's power, water conservancy, sewage treatment, petroleum and natural gas, chemical, transportation, pharmaceutical, and large-scale manufacturing industries.
    According to incomplete statistics, more than 80% of the key infrastructure related to the national economy and people's livelihood rely on industrial control systems to achieve automated operations, and industrial control systems have become an important part of the national security strategy.

     

    The problem of industrial control security is the "immediate need" for the construction of a strong manufacturing country and a strong network.
    Especially in the process of manufacturing transformation and upgrading, industrial control security technology is especially needed to escort.

     

    Therefore, the establishment of a comprehensive industrial information security system to reduce internal and external threats to the industrial control system has risen to the height of the national security strategy, and national policies and standards are gradually being formulated and improved.
    In February 2017, * issued the "Industrial Control System Information Security Action Plan (2018-2020)", proposing to establish a national industrial control safety monitoring network, carry out information notification and early warning, and establish a system-wide industrial control safety management work system.

     

    With the continuous update and change of industrial control system network attack methods, the defense technology of industrial information security is constantly improving and improving.
    In other words, in the face of various types of industrial control system cyber attacks, upgrading and updating technology will be an inevitable trend.

     

    At present, many scientific and technological research and development companies at home and abroad are actively carrying out technological innovation, developing a series of safety protection products, and building an industrial control safety defense system.
    For manufacturing companies, strengthening software security protection capabilities, finding and fixing system vulnerabilities, and choosing reliable and safe IoT terminals will help avoid a series of unknown risks and attacks, and improve the security level of industrial control systems.
