In this session, we will demonstrate practical approaches to implementing secure-by-default principles in Industrial Automation control systems.
Key topics include:
• PLC Hardening: Using Rockwell Automation’s ControlLogix platform—which represents approximately 70% of the PLC market share in North America—to showcase best practices for securing programmable logic controllers.
• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): How RBAC, combined with identity providers such as Entra ID, Okta, or on-prem Active Directory, can deliver a seamless Single Sign-On (SSO) experience. We’ll illustrate how this unified RBAC model can be extended across PLCs, HMIs, and Engineering Workstations (EWS).
• Zero Trust Foundations: Leveraging ODVA’s CIP Security to enable device-to-device authentication and authorization, ensure data integrity, and optionally provide confidentiality.
By the end of this session, you’ll gain actionable insights into securing industrial environments through layered security strategies aligned with modern cybersecurity principles.
