How do smart factories respond to the security threats of industrial Internet?

With the rapid development of industrial Internet, smart factories have become the choice of more and more enterprises. The establishment of intelligent factory can reduce production cost, improve efficiency and increase productivity. However, with the progress of Internet technology, smart factories have also undertaken more or even more important tasks. The security of industrial Internet is very important. Once attacked, it will have a fatal impact on the normal operation of smart factories. Therefore, how should smart factories respond to the security threats of industrial Internet?

First of all, smart factories need to strengthen the awareness of network security and take targeted security protection measures, such as key management, user identity authentication, information encryption and other measures. Secondly, to realize the importance of data security, online data should have integrity, confidentiality and availability. Smart factories need to establish a perfect data backup and disaster recovery mechanism to ensure that external attacks will not cause irreparable losses to production and operation. In addition, smart factories should also be alert to the security threats of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT). The development of Internet of Things technology also makes customer data and other confidential business information face greater security risks, so smart factories should take corresponding security measures.

Smart factories also need to maintain continuous communication. In order to ensure the production and maintenance of intelligent factory, communication system has always been an important part of factory safety. Smart factories need to adopt various best practices to ensure that the unified communication network is fully utilized and stable in the whole production process, so as to keep the communication between robots, mechanical arms and sensors smooth and ensure the production efficiency of smart factories.

Smart factories should have professional security teams. Team members need to be familiar with physical security and network security, be able to find and respond to risk events as quickly as possible, and ensure the production and operation safety of smart factories. Smart factories also need to cooperate with some security agencies, factory equipment suppliers and service providers to obtain the latest network security threats and new technologies and methods to weaken this threat.

The establishment of smart factories needs to comply with relevant operating norms and safety standards, and make decisions to ensure the cultivation of safety awareness, data security, communication network and the establishment of professional safety teams. At the same time, it also needs the support and recognition of commercial organizations to help the development of smart factories and bring new ideas and directions for the development of industrial Internet.
