Security-Testing für industrielle Automatisierungssysteme

At the Fraunhofer IOSB in Karlsruhe a Security-Testing-Framework called ISuTest was designed and implemented. ISuTest enables the automated testing of the security properties of industrial automation equipment by using predefined test cases. It is compatible to the „OpenVAS” (Open Vulnerability Assessment System) security testing framework. ISuTest makes it possible to conduct attacks on automation systems and capture the resulting reactions. This reveals the impact of attacks and possible vulnerabilities of the tested systems. Easy and efficient testing of arbitrary automation systems is enabled by the open and modular design of the ISuTest-Framework.
