UMAS (Unified Messaging Application Services) is a Schneider Electric (SE) proprietary protocol used to configure and monitor Schneider Electric programmable logic controllers (PLCs). While it is true that the protocol is related to this manufacturer, the use of the protocol is quite widespread in different sectors, especially the energy sector, as is obvious.The article will focus on the technical breakdown of the protocol and the use of the protocol. The article will also show weaknesses, strengths and some technical vulnerabilities detected in this protocol.

In today's business landscape, the digital revolution has led to an unprecedented transformation, and at the epicenter of this evolution are Industrial Internet of Things devices (IIoT). These devices, skilled in collecting and transmitting data in real-time, have emerged as fundamental pillars, that drive operational efficiency and decision-making in industrial environments.From advanved sensors to smart sctuators, the network of IIoT devices implemented in the industrial fabric is improving the frontiers of connectivity, impacting the way companies design, implement, and manage their operations.In this article, we will learn about the role of these devices within Industry 4.0, analyzing how different types of architectures are implemented and how their communications protocols shape the future of the industry. 

The UN R155 and UN R156 regulations are of vital importance for vehicle cybersecurity. From July 2022, all car manufacturers that want to be type-approved must comply with both regulations, but from July 2024 this requirement will be extended to all new vehicles sold in the European Union, regardless of when the manufacturer obtained type-approval. One of the most important aspects of compliance with both regulations is the completion of a cybersecurity risk assessment of the vehicle, including all integrated components of the vehicle's supply chain. On the other hand, it also specifies how to incorporate cybersecurity from design, how to detect and respond to incidents, how to securely update vehicle software, etc. 

En la actualidad, el crecimiento de las plantas industriales ha provocado una incesante búsqueda en la mejora de la productividad de los procesos industriales. Esto ha llevado a la evolución de los dispositivos IIoT y, con ello, la emergencia de las pasarelas ICS. Estas se han postulado como puentes tecnológicos, tendiendo vínculos, puentes, entre los dispositivos instalados y la inmensidad de los entornos cloud. En este artículo descubrirás el papel central de estas pasarelas, descubriendo su función como facilitadoras esenciales en la convergencia de la ingeniería tradicional y la innovación en la nube.

This post presents some lines of action that should be followed to deal with a DrDoS cyberattack based on the SSDP protocol, describing in detail the prevention, identification and response phases to follow.

Technology adoption in industrial plants is part of the global digital transformation. This evolution provides greater knowledge of all the elements that interact in industrial processes, but it can also incorporate cybersecurity issues if a series of good practices are not followed. The development of this article focuses on the problems introduced by Wi-Fi communications and their growth in industrial environments.

The M-Bus protocol is a common protocol in the industry in general, it’s daily use can be related to devices for measurements of electricity, gas, water, heating, etc. This protocol has a wireless variant called Wireless M-Bus and works through a hierarchical master/slave system, standardized according to EN13757.

Space is an increasingly important element in the critical infrastructures of all countries. The possibility of losing or degrading space services can significantly affect both national security and all customers who have contracted services involving the use of satellites or any other space devices, resulting in major economic and security losses.To protect it, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed a cyber security framework for the commercial ground segment of the space sector, providing a means for stakeholders to assess their cyber security posture in terms of identification, protection, detection, response and recovery operations, thereby evaluating the level of risk to the satellite ground segment structure.
