ICS threats to productivity

Technical Error States in Industrial Control Systems

With a Rhebo Industrial Security Assessment, industrial companies and operators of critical infrastructure gain complete transparency of their Industrial Control System (ICS). All suspicious componentes, connections and communication processes are identified. The results enable those responsible for cybersecurity to immediately eliminate threats and to secure their ICS.

‍The following examples showcase typical results from Rhebo audits and the identified technical error state in ICS.

‍Also, explore the anomalies that threaten the cybersecurity of ICS.

Remedying Communication Errors

Analysis

Rhebo Industrial Protector identified devices which sent TCP packets with incorrect checksums. The checksum validates, if the respective communication has been transmitted correctly.

‍

TCP checksum errors usually indicate transmission problems due to faulty network components.

Productivity Threat

Incorrect communication can endanger process stability.‍

Threats:

  • costs due to technical disruptions
  • financial loss due to increased downtimes
