Automation systems both in industry and building control contexts often require network connections for remote administration and data exchange. This, however, also exposes them to cyber threats like hacking attacks. Hackers may use these machines for a number of purposes like sabotage, sending spam, extorting money by ransomware or to incorporate them into botnets like those used for DDoS attacks. It is therefore important to protect all types of automation and IoT networks from these types of attacks. This article explores the best ways to achieve this necessary protection and gives further recommendations.
