Zusammenfassung:A method for detecting attacks on a network component of an industrial network uses a component monitoring unit integrated in the network component. The component monitoring unit has at least one checking module for performing a check on the network component and a communication module for the component monitoring unit to communicate with at least one further network component of the industrial network. The component monitoring unit further has a management module for managing a communication between the at least one checking module and the communication module. When a predetermined criterion is satisfied, the at least one checking module collects and/or evaluates information concerning the network component and/or concerning the satisfied criterion for the purpose of checking the network component.
