Cybersecurity for Products and Production

The increasing number of cybersecurity regulations for the manufacturing industry requires a structured risk management method: This book aims to provide a comprehensive, practical guide to risk management for networked industrial plants. It covers the entire value chain – from individual machines (such as CNC milling machines or robots) to their digital ecosystem, including the cloud/on-prem backend of manufacturers, integrators, and service providers, to the factory production environment. On this basis, the work combines technical best practice approaches with the relevant ISO/IEC 27000 and IEC 62443 standards and explains how their specifications can be pragmatically transferred into everyday operations. Using detailed, realistic case studies, it shows how technical rigor and operational efficiency can be combined to minimize security and liability risks throughout the entire life cycle. Special attention is paid to the very new European requirements, in particular the Cyber Resilience Act: The book provides practical information that companies can use to prepare their products and processes for compliance now. It offers an understandable approach and a precise reference for seamlessly combining legal, organizational, and technical requirements for cybersecurity, safety, and product liability. This also gives readers the opportunity to prepare for compliance, particularly with the Cyber Resilience Act for risk management, even before harmonized standards are published at the European level.
