Just Released: Top 20 Secure PLC Coding Practices


After recent ransomware attacks, cybersecurity is even more top of mind...


And although programmable logic controllers (PLCs) have long been considered inherently insecure,
a new initiative that outlines 20 best practices for coding the industrial computing device aims to
reimagine the PLC as the last line of cyber defense in an industrial process.

 


Engineers and technicians that program and maintain PLCs can now download this newly released list of the
Top 20 Secure PLC Coding Practices for the IT security of PLCs and the plants these PLCs control.

 

BACKGROUND

It started with Jake Brodsky's S4x20 session, during which he shared tips and tricks he had learned in his long career with a water utility to improve the resiliency, maintenance, and security of a PLC and the underlying physical process. 

Watch the video below for his presentation to learn more about programming/secure coding practices for PLC's. 

 

 

Having seen a significant reduction in exploitable bugs with the adoption of application secure coding practices, and understanding the same could be true for the programming and configuration of PLC’s, conference organizers wanted to ensure that what's been learned wasn't forgotten, but shared with engineers and those who can put it to use...
