Security-Relevant Diagnostic Messages

A method, comprising:

• a) receiving diagnostic messages generated by technical objects of a technical installation comprising a manufacturing or process installation;
• b) analyzing the diagnostic messages such that diagnostic messages which are relevant to security of an operation of the technical installation are identified via comparative data records, a machine learning network being utilized to assess the security relevance of the diagnostic messages to analyze the diagnostic messages to assess the security relevance of the diagnostic messages, said neural network having previously been trained utilizing inputs from operators of the technical installation, and said operators having assessed past diagnostic messages with regard to their security relevance;
• c) adapting the previously identified diagnostic messages to requirements of a computer-implemented security module of the technical installation, if necessary;
• and
• d) transmitting the previously identified and optionally adapted diagnostic messages to the computer-implemented security module of the technical installation.

A control system for a technical installation, comprising:

• an operator station server;
• a computer-implemented analysis module;
• a computer-implemented adaptation module;
• and
• a computer-implemented security module, the analysis module and the adaptation module being implemented on the operator station server;
• wherein the computer-implemented analysis module is configured to receive diagnostic messages generated by technical objects of a technical installation and to analyze the diagnostic messages such that diagnostic messages relevant for security of an operation of the technical installation are identified;
• wherein the computer-implemented analysis module is further configured to utilize a machine learning network to analyze the diagnostic messages to assess the security relevance of the diagnostic messages, said network having previously been trained using special inputs from operators of the technical installation, said operators having assessed past diagnostic messages with respect to their security relevance;
• wherein the computer-implemented analysis module is configured to forward the diagnostic messages previously identified as relevant to the computer-implemented adaptation module;
• wherein the computer-implemented adaptation module is configured, if necessary, to adapt the diagnostic messages previously identified as relevant by the computer-implemented analysis module to requirements of the computer-implemented security module;
• and
• wherein the computer-implemented adaptation module is further configured to forward the diagnostic messages previously received from the computer-implemented analysis module to the computer-implemented security module.
