Abstract
To commission an industrial automation control system, IACS, a computing device generates commands to automatically set or verify a security configuration of the IACS. The commands are generated by the computing device based on a machine-readable security baseline, and, optionally, based on a machine-readable configuration file of the IACS.
Claims20
A method of commissioning an industrial automation control system (IACS) the method comprising:
- generating, by a computing device, commands to automatically set or verify a security configuration of the IACS,
- wherein the commands are generated by the computing device based on a machine-readable security baseline,
- wherein the computing device uses information on a logical data flow during operation of the IACS, on a topology of the IACS, or the logical data flow during operation of the IACS and the topology of the IACS from a machine-readable configuration file of the IACS when generating the commands to set, verify, or set and verify the security configuration, and
- commissioning the IACS before the IACS starts operating.

A computing device for commissioning an industrial automation control system (IACS) the computing device comprising:
- a data storage device storing a machine-readable security baseline;
- and
- a processor configured to generate commands to automatically set or verify a security configuration of the IACS based on the machine-readable security baseline,
- wherein the computing device uses information on a logical data flow during operation of the IACS, on a topology of the IACS, or the logical data flow during operation of the IACS and the topology of the IACS from a machine-readable configuration file of the IACS when generating the commands to set, verify, or set and verify the security configuration,
- wherein the IACS is commissioned before the IACS starts operating.
2 more elements
A memory device comprising:
- a set of instructions for commissioning an industrial automation control system (IACS) when executed by a processor of a computing device that are effective to:
- generate commands to automatically set or verify a security configuration of the IACS,
- wherein the commands are generated by the computing device based on a machine-readable security baseline,
- wherein the computing device uses information on a logical data flow during operation of the IACS, on a topology of the IACS, or the logical data flow during operation of the IACS and the topology of the IACS from a machine-readable configuration file of the IACS when generating the commands to set, verify, or set and verify the security configuration, and
- commission the IACS before the IACS starts operating.
