Cyber security

Introduction

Cyber security is one of the most important topics for ABB and its customers. With the adoption of Industry 4.0 and IoT, more and more devices in MNS Low Voltage Switchgear are connected with each other and to other systems.

This is why the security of intelligent switchgear assemblies like ABB MNS is increasingly critical. ABB aims to protect the data, integrity and availability of all its LV switchgear applications e.g. Digital Gateway and ABB Ability CMES condition monitoring.

How ABB MNS digital solution meet security challenges

ABB takes all necessary steps to continuously improve the security of its products. These measures follow commonly accepted industry standards and practices and include, where technically feasible:

Robustness testing
including fuzzing
and flooding

Vulnerability scanning
for known vulnerabilities
and exploits

Security testing
including static code analysis
or binary code analysis

We highly recommend that Digital Gateway and CMES software and applications applied in MNS Low Voltage switchgear are kept up to date using the most recent firmware and software updates to keep your system and environment secure.

Certification for the ISA/IEC 62443-4-1 cyber security standard for Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS), awarded by TÜV Rheinland, affirms ABB Smart Power’s commitment to continuous improvement in the security of its customers’ power.

ABB has certified the global development processes that are used by used by all development organizations. These organizations develop key technologies, including circuit breakers, motor starters, contactors and UPS devices.
