Security Cells to Protect Against Cyber Threats

In order to protect manufacturing systems against cyberattack, B&R has further enhanced the user management features of the Aprol process control system. Distributed, autonomous security cells provide protection for systems against malicious software and attacks from hackers.

In order to protect extensive manufacturing systems against cyberattack, they are divided into security cells. If one security cell comes under external attack, all other cells can continue to run unimpeded. This minimizes possible damage while simultaneously increasing the availability of the manufacturing system.

One security cell for each production-relevant zone

To achieve maximum protection, the manufacturing system must first be divided into autonomously functioning process cells. These consist of production-relevant zones, sections, sub-areas or subsystems. One or more of these process cells are then combined into security cells. The flexible client/server architecture of Aprol allows up to 64 of these security cells.
