Experience industrial security under real conditions

The scenarios in the Cyber Security Experience Center not only make it possible to demonstrate various attacks, but also to learn about and experiment with concrete defence measures. The experts on site can illustrate the concrete effects on technologies in various sectors. For example, a gas pressure control and measurement system, a medical device for patient monitoring, or a model building including a digital building management system (BMS), were set up for demonstration purposes.

In addition to these physical exhibits, an individually configurable simulation environment is also available in the Cyber Security Experience Center, in which the experts can represent further industrial scenarios with a digital twin, connected to a physical ICS. Industrial infrastructures and their vulnerabilities become particularly tangible in this way.

The highlights

Industry 4.0: Industrial robot

According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), around three million industrial robots were in use worldwide in 2020. If hackers take over the control of such machines, this can not only disrupt production processes, but also endanger human lives. For this reason, the Cyber Security Experience Center has a fully functional example of the Fanuc LR Mate 200iD/7L robotic arm. This allows us to demonstrate potential vulnerabilities and attack scenarios as well as the detection options and defence measures that companies need to have in place to protect their infrastructures in order to increase security and resilience in the long term.

Pressure Reducing and Metering Station

In order to make the distribution of natural gas via the supra-regional networks to the end consumer more efficient, the gas is highly compressed for transport. At the end of the journey, however, this pressure must also be reduced again. This requires the so-called pressure reducing and metering station (PRMS). In the Cyber Security Experience Center, the security experts use such a system to demonstrate where the technology has potential weaknesses and how attackers can exploit the lack of security if the required level of OT security is not in place.

Building management system

In the course of progressive building automation, so-called building management systems are being used more and more frequently. With their help, parameters such as temperature, humidity or light can be controlled. In order to illustrate the attack surface of such systems, a model building was constructed in the Cyber Security Experience Center and equipped with this technology. Here, visitors can see at close quarters how attackers can penetrate such systems and manipulate the building control system.

Hybrid power plant

To cover the energy sector as a relevant part of critical infrastructures a model of a hybrid power plant is built into the experience center. It uses photovoltaic cells and a wind turbine to generate energy. In the test scenario, the power plant supplies other downstream exhibits such as a medical device with the necessary energy. In this way, the security experts can illustrate not only the effects of cyber attacks on electricity suppliers, but also the corresponding knock on consequences for other critical infrastructures.
