The security of elements PCS and specialized software

Security of automated process control systems (PCS) is a critical task to ensure satisfactory operation of modern production. Among the risks related to the protection of critical information infrastructure objects (KBO or FIAC) is isolated group of socio - economic risks and risks associated with technological channels. Among them:

• Corruption of data on the financial and economic activity coming from the controllers, workstations and terminal nodes control system based on Windows (CE, XP, 7) in the higher-level (eg MES, ERP) for the purpose of concealing embezzlement.
