Importance: The industrial Internet has achieved the intelligence, automation and informatization of the production process by connecting and integrating various industrial equipment and systems. Once the industrial Internet is attacked, it may lead to serious consequences such as production interruption, equipment damage and data leakage, causing huge losses to enterprises. Therefore, industrial Internet security is the fundamental guarantee for industrial production and an important support for the development of enterprises.

Challenges faced

Device diversity: The devices and systems connected by the industrial Internet come from different manufacturers, and each device has unique security requirements and challenges that traditional protection systems find difficult to effectively address.

Vulnerability risk: Industrial equipment and systems may have various vulnerabilities, such as vulnerabilities in industrial control systems and the inability to install patches on old equipment, making them vulnerable to exploitation by attackers.

Data leakage risk: Data in industrial production, such as process formulas and quality inspection data, are of high value. Once leaked, it will cause serious losses to enterprises.

Supply chain security: The industrial Internet supply chain is complex, involving multiple suppliers and partners. Any security issue in any link of the supply chain may affect the security of the entire industrial system.

Weak safety awareness among personnel: Workers in the industrial sector may not have sufficient understanding and attention to network security, which can easily lead to safety accidents due to operational errors.
