Abstract
The purpose of the present invention is to solve the new problem of appropriately protecting a control apparatus and a controller system including the control apparatus against a security event. The execution content of a security protection process performed by a security-monitoring device is determined in accordance with the action state of this control apparatus and/or a notification issued through a control arithmetic operation by the control apparatus.
Claims7
A controller system, comprising:
- a control apparatus, executing a control program for realizing a control arithmetic operation for controlling a control target;
- and
- a security monitoring device, executing a security protection process comprising detection of a security event possible to occur in the controller system and execution of a process in correspondence with the security event,
- wherein execution contents of the security protection process performed by the security monitoring device are determined in accordance with at least one of an action state of the control apparatus and a notification issued by the control arithmetic operation by the control apparatus.
A control apparatus, executing a control program for realizing a control arithmetic operation for controlling a control target, the control apparatus comprising:
- a communication interface for connecting with a security monitoring device executing a security protection process comprising detection of a security event possible to occur in the control apparatus and execution of a process in correspondence with the detected security event;
- and
- a program execution part executing the control program,
- wherein the program execution part notifies the security monitoring device with an instruction for executing the security protection process determined in accordance with at least one of an action state of the control apparatus and a notification issued by the control arithmetic operation by the control apparatus.
A non-transitory computer readable medium, storing a control program executed by a control apparatus for executing a control arithmetic operation for controlling a control target,
- wherein the control apparatus is connected with a security monitoring device executing a security protection process comprising detection of a security event possible to occur in the control apparatus and execution of a process in correspondence with the detected security event, and
- the control program cause a computer to execute:
- a generation step of generating an instruction for executing the security protection process determined in accordance with at least one of an action state of the control apparatus and a notification issued by the control arithmetic operation by the control apparatus;
- and
- a notification step of notifying the security monitoring device with the instruction generated in the generation step.
