With the arrival of industry 4.0 to companies’ productive processes, including IIoT and Cloud, the need to control and monitor the ICS that remotely make them up arises. However, said access points should be established securely and in a controlled manner, mainly due to the criticality of these assets. This article discusses good practices, tools and methods that can be used to establish remote connections to OT networks as securely as possible.
With the aim of increasing cybersecurity knowledge, INCIBE-CERT has published a series of webinars in video format, so that, in a light and entertaining way, knowledge and technical aspects of cybersecurity can be expanded in various areas of interest, for both INCIBE-CERT's technical audience and anyone interested in cybersecurity.
In this blog post we detail the new PGP keys generated by INCIBE-CERT to establish secure communication channels with different audiences.
The main security standards and best practice guidelines in industrial cybersecurity include as a requirement the need for a user authentication system. The options involve implementations in each device of this system or being integrated into a centralised user authentication system. One of the most-used options is the use of the LDAP protocol, but there are a number of points to consider in the design phase, which are key when implementing a specific centralised user management system for industrial control systems, under LDAP.
