How can you take advantage of the corporate data flow that is transferred between the various production areas in a safe and secure way? The answer lies in the practice of Cybersecurity!
The interconnection and the exchange of information is increasingly widespread today due to the phenomenon of the Internet of Things, i.e. the ability to collect and use a large amount of data, coming from industrial systems, such as machinery, plants and products, in order to create value through optimized digitalization and automation of business processes. But why is it so important to talk about cybersecurity? There are two main reasons.
FIRST
If you do not know this topic in depth, it becomes difficult to manage efficiently and without major damage any cyber attacks that can invest your business security. The advantage of acquiring skills on cybersecurity before any hacker attacks is to define first the areas of application of cybersecurity and to implement your own business model. Knowing what are the information security risks could helps us to be prepared and to minimize the negative consequences of a cyber attack.
SECOND
To transfer your data in a total security way you can use Ethernet networks! This is why it is important to know them and their excellent support for the protection from cyber attacks! The TCP/IP model of Ethernet networks, for example, performs various tasks in the security field by relying on different protocols.
- Network access level: does not require any specific protocol, but in most cases uses Ethernet (cable) and IEEE 802.11 (radio). This level allows the connection of different subnets.
- Network level: in this case the Internet protocol is used, which allows data to reach the correct destination via the IP address.
- Transport layer: the TCP protocol works on this layer, which allows end-to-end communication. This allows the connection between two devices. Together with TCP, the UDP is also used.
- Application level: this is the communication of programs via the network. The default protocols for this level are HTTP and FTP.
If you decide to participate in the webinar dedicated to Cybersecurity and Ethernet Networks of 01st of JULY, organized by Technology BSA in cooperation with Rockwell Automation, you can discover all aspects of this topic, as well as the composition of the network and practical examples very close to your reality.
