Analysis of the Cyber-Security of industry 4.0 technologies based on RAMI 4.0 and identification of requirements

The exhaustive digitalization of the economy, and to be more specific, of industrial production systems results in a new quality of information transparency. This is the basis for added values in terms of effectiveness, quality, and individuality. However, these added values also result in an increased exposure to Cyber-Security threats, due to the increased digitalization, information transparency and standardization. In this work, the procedural model for a Cyber-Security analysis based on reference architecture model Industry 4.0 (RAMI 4.0) and the VDI/VDE guideline 2182 is exemplary shown for the use case of a Cloud-based monitoring of the production. The derived procedure supports the identification of protection demands and allows a risk-based selection of suitable countermeasures.
