Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) are designed to keep processes safe, especially during critical situations. With this concept in mind, it is paramount that the SIS components are not taken down due to cyber-threats. The purpose of this white paper is to explain, in detail, the Emerson approach for cybersecurity as well as the built-in security features available within the DeltaV SIS process safety system.

In this sophisticated threat environment, traditional security tactics are failing. Symantec encourages organizations to revisit their security posture to build a more cyber resilient enterprise. Resilience is not defined by a series of checklists, but through evaluations based on the current threat environment and the acceptable risk level for the organization.

Digital transformation has brought significant benefits to organizations, including increased agility and flexibility, but it has also led to a rise in cyber attack vectors. 66% of organizations were hit with ransomware within the last year, according to a 2022 Sophos survey. The widespread adoption of cloud services and Software-as-aService (SaaS) applications has expanded the attack surface, making it more challenging to manage and secure data. Additionally, the increased use of mobile devices and remote work have made it easier for cybercriminals to launch attacks from anywhere, at any time.

We are living in an era of digital disruption. Multiple industries are being disrupted, or fear being disrupted in the near future. Business models are evolving to cater to the dynamic markets and digital transformation that seems to be the answer to changing business models. Digital transformation is rapidly becoming a key priority in most industries, as organizations adapt to changing markets by leveraging technologies to build IT-centric business models. In general, organizations are using digital transformation to reach their goals of achieving greater agility, improving operational efficiency, improving customer experiences, and developing new revenue streams.

Modern aerospace products are moving into containerization and micro-services. Mounting connected internal micro-services patterns in a product segregates and segments the network to support a zero-trust network security approach. Having weak internal network security of the product allows malicious actors to exploit them and elevate privileges — denying users access, jamming signals, or even shutting them down. Such interference could cause major harm to aircraft safety and operations.

We live in an increasingly connected world, where more and more devices and systems are networked and shared with other systems. Convenience is a main driver behind this trend, as people have come to expect the ability to connect to and control devices and systems anywhere, anytime. However, there is a downside to the unprecedented level of convenience provided by the growing number of networked devices, namely increased security risk. Because each device is an endpoint for networks, they introduce the potential to become entry points for hackers and others with malicious intents. In fact, in many of the most high-profile data breaches that have occurred recently, hackers were able to access corporate networks through POS, HVAC and other networked systems that failed to provide an adequate level of security to prevent these types of breaches.
