While those in charge of industrial
production sites still keep focusing on their traditional concerns related to
costs, premises obsolescence and, of course, production data itself, the bad
guys -and, probably, girls- within “cyber” keep showing their skills and
capabilities for aggression. Turkish industry leaders, authorities and citizens
have recently learned it. The strike, coming from Iran -the new and growing Western hemisphere (and
surroundings) cyber threat-, arrived on March, 31st, in the form of
a nationwide outage that shock them all (computers, lifts, traffic lights,
airports, hospitals, …, everything) for twelve hours. Because of these and
other issues, our friends from HASEN
-the Istanbul (Turkey)-based reference think tank in the Caspian
region- have started issuing
recommendations on that subject.
Luckier they were at Chattanooga
(TN, USA), where EPB’s “smart” power grid automatically restored in seconds,
after being hit by a summer storm in 2012. Remember that not all cyber
incidents come from hacking! Therefore, do manage your Operational Technology
firmly and effectively. Failure in meeting such premise will doom inevitably
your Industry 4.0 (and above).
