Applicability of the IEC 62443 standard in Industry 4.0 / IIoT

Abstract

Today's industrial automation systems are undergoing a digital transformation that implies a shift towards the Internet of Things (IoT), leading to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) paradigm. Existing Industrial Automated Control Systems (IACS), enriched with a potentially large number of IoT devices are expected to make systems more efficient, flexible, provide intelligence, and ultimately enable autonomous control. In general, the majority of such systems come with high level of criticality that calls for well-established methods and approaches when achieving cybersecurity, preferably prescribed by a standard.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • There is a substantial gap between existing IT and OT domains which makes the IIoT environment more vulnerable to existing security issues.

    “There is a substantial gap between the existing information technology and operational technology (IT/OT) domains which makes the IIoT environment more vulnerable to existing security issues [5,6,7,8,9,10].”
  • Identifying a breach before damage has incurred is critical to the whole environment.

    “Identifying the breach before damage has incurred is critical to the whole environment [5].”
  • M2M communication networks are an integral part of connected factories involving high dependency on next generation wireless communication systems.

    “M2M communication networks are an integral part of connected factories involving high dependency on next generation wireless communication systems (5G, time sensitive networking, etc.) [4,5] and involving self-automated, self-driven, and self-learning network characteristics.”
  • M2M networks involve low-end devices with limited resources and implementing costly security algorithms like asymmetrical cryptography does not fit the scope for IIoT.

    “M2M networks involve low-end devices with limited resources and implementing costly security algorithms like asymmetrical cryptography does not fit the scope for IIoT [5].”
  • There is an obvious risk that parts of IEC 62443 may become obsolete due to the introduction of the IIoT.

    “According to Leander et al. [41], there is an obvious risk that parts of IEC 62443 may become obsolete due to the introduction of the IIoT.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
