  Abstract

With the 4th industrial revolution, a factory is evolving into a smart factory with open commercial ICT technologies and connecting to other networks. Industrial control systems used in the automation field of the smart factory are also connected to other networks, so cybersecurity threats are increased because of utilizing Ethernet and wireless communication technologies. In this paper we present an industrial control system security evaluation method as a countermeasure against increasing security threats of the ICSs used in smart factories. We propose two evaluation types, one is a component evaluation and the other is pre-commissioning evaluation. The component security evaluation is based on internationally accepted IEC 62443-4-2 standard by considering domestic ICS market environment. In addition, the pre-commissioning evaluation is based on Korea’s unique requirements, reflecting the domestic cyber security threats and regulatory. This process also assesses the security management process of it and vulnerabilities of the operational readiness. By implementing these ICS evaluation schemes, smart factories are built with the design-by-security components. And by applying the security management process and vulnerability assessment to smart factories at pre-commissioning stage, we anticipate that smart factories will be more secure.
