"Internet +" era, industrial systems face new challenges

In the era of "Internet +", information technology, represented by mobile Internet, IoT, cloud computing and big data, is promoting a new round of technological revolution in the world, as well as a new industrial revolution. At the same time, industrial control systems are undergoing an unprecedented transformation, using information technology to enhance the integration and interconnection between systems, to achieve deep networking, intelligent, integrated development, so as to change the traditional production mode, improve management level and production efficiency. Under the tide of this change, the industrial control system needs to meet the challenge with the new development idea.

"Internet + "The Tide swept

( a) "Internet +" has led to a large number of industry integration, great change

" Internet + "is a new economic form, which integrates the Internet technology, results and thinking into various fields of traditional economic society, in order to reduce costs, improve efficiency, stimulate the innovation and vitality of the real economy. With the rapid development of network and information technology applications, the "Internet +" era has been quietly approaching, the Internet and other information technology and traditional fields, derived from the Internet finance, industrial Internet, e-commerce, Smart city and other new Internet-based forms of business. Cross-border, integration, change has become an important trend in the era of "Internet +". "Internet +" contains a huge industry and social change opportunities, will restructure the future economic development of new models.

( second)" Internet + "industry has become a general trend

With the rapid development of Internet of things, industrial big data and other technologies, industrial production system is more and more complex, the integration is more and more high, the network connection is more and more wide, the networking and intellectualization of industrial production are more and more obvious, the Internet and industrial integration has become an irreversible trend. Germany's "Industry 4.0" and the United States "industrial Internet" are driving the traditional industrial transformation and upgrading, to build core competitiveness, rob the future commanding heights. China is no exception, with the "Made in China 2025" Planning and the implementation of a series of related measures, China's industrial Internet will also usher in rapid development. It is estimated that the development of China's industrial Internet will bring in at least about $3 trillion in GDP over the next 20 years. Industrial Internet has become an important way for China to seize the opportunity of industrial transformation, to realize the transformation and upgrading of industry, and to accomplish the historic leap from great transformation to strong.

( III)" Internet + "opens new requirements for interconnection of industrial control systems

"Internet + Industrial Control Systems "face the twin challenges of development and security

( a) innovation and integration become "Internet + Industrial Control system" development bottleneck

" Internet + "is not limited to a prefix of industrial control systems, simply connected to the Internet does not form a true" Internet + Industrial Control system ", only to achieve" 1+1>2 "innovation integration, In order for the Internet and industrial control systems to become inseparable, mutually stimulating organic whole, so as to burst out new productivity, but the road of innovation and integration faces many challenges.

one is the key technology needs to break through. This convergence wave is only just beginning, can use big data technology to achieve the massive acquisition of industrial data, accurate analysis and integration of feedback, enhance the industrial control system intelligent control and decision-making ability, can use the Internet of things to achieve seamless docking between sensors, controllers, industrial equipment and remote equipment control, Meet the needs of the interconnection of distributed industrial control systems, the ability to use cloud computing technology to build a cloud manufacturing platform for resource-based, on-demand, cost reduction, collaborative manufacturing and even global sharing, and many of the now unimaginable or immature fusion technology needs to be down-to-earth design and implementation, in order to achieve " The perfect docking of the Internet + industrial control system.

two is that the ecological environment has not been established. "Internet +" under the Industrial control system cross-domain, cross-industry application features will be more prominent, in line with the "Internet +" to break the system isolation, Information Island, the trend of industry barriers, the realization of innovation in the mode, the concept of change, strengthen industrial chain collaborative innovation and production information sharing, From product design to manufacturing and marketing process integration, building a complete ecosystem covering the whole industry chain is the key to promote the rapid development of "Internet + Industrial Control system", and it is also a problem that needs to be solved in front of us.

third, the cross-boundary standard is seriously missing. with the introduction of information technology, industrial control systems have become more intelligent, transparent, open and interconnected from traditional independence and closure. However, without a large number of unified technical standards, service standards, management standards and security standards, it is difficult to achieve system compatibility, data sharing, information security and interoperability. Germany proposed standard first, the standard as its "Industry 4.0" priority implementation of the field, the standard is the information technology and industrial technology integration development inherent requirements, the formation of cross-sectoral, interdisciplinary standardization Working Group, the "Industry 4.0" standardized road map, the standard to make a series of forward-looking layout, Focus on cross-border terminology, reference models and other urgently needed standards of development work. Therefore, the problem of the standardization of industrial control system integration, interconnection and integration upgrade process needs to be solved in order to seize the standard commanding heights of global competition.

( II) "Internet + Industrial Control system" security threat full upgrade

"Internet +" can bring great creativity and productivity to industrial control systems, but it will also introduce more complex and serious security problems.

one is that deep networking and multi-level interconnection increases the attack path. Industrial control systems, management systems, supply chain systems, such as the interconnection, interoperability, interoperability, more and more industrial control systems can be accessed through the Internet, mobile Internet, such as direct or indirect access, management Network and production control network of two-way information interaction will become the norm, The gradual deepening of the interconnection trend makes the control authority of industrial production continue to move on, the production end, the research, the management end, the consumer end can realize the attack to the industrial control system, greatly increases the attack point, the attack surface and the trust network boundary, the security risk is bigger, the spread surface is broader.

Two is the introduction of traditional IT products to bring more security vulnerabilities. to adapt to the trend of industrial Internet, industrial control system manufacturers are increasingly using common operating systems, databases and servers to enable third-party manufacturers to produce compatible accessories, and these generalized and open technologies and products have well-known vulnerabilities, Allows an attacker to exploit an existing vulnerability to implement an intrusion attack, the earthquake network virus for the Iranian nuclear power plant is the use of multiple vulnerabilities in the Microsoft Windows operating system to achieve the continuous spread between the engineer station and the operating station.

Third, the new information technology in the field of industrial control protection system is not yet mature. applications in industrial control systems, such as IoT, cloud computing, big Data and mobile Internet, have also brought security issues such as sensitive data storage, and these emerging information technologies, in the field of industrial control, are not yet mature in their security theory, protection systems, and security measures, which may be "vulnerable to attack" in the face of cyber attacks.
