In the electrical industry, the word “dependability” refers to the probability that the protective systems will cut power when required. By contrast, the word “security” is used in the electrical industry to refer to the avoidance of unnecessary outages.
https://control.com/technical-articles/tls-transport-layer-security-protocol-secure-modbus-TCP/
From a simplified perspective, TLS can be considered an improved and more secure/security-oriented version of the secure sockets layer (SSL) that were typically used in TCP systems in the past. Serious vulnerabilities were uncovered with SSL in this context, however, through a large number of malware and exploit attacks.

A gateway device also translates information from one protocol to another. This particular feature sets gateways apart from other tools, such as firewalls. Finally, by acting as the single point of entry to a network, a gateway can provide an added level of security to networking infrastructure.
https://control.com/technical-articles/what-is-the-bacnet-protocol/
BACnet is a network protocol used in building automation systems (BAS) to control the data exchange between different devices and components, commonly used to control HVAC and lighting, manage security and access, monitor energy usage, and allow inter-operation with other building management systems.

The first is called Source Protection. This allows you to lock certain routines or Add-On Instructions so that they cannot be edited or viewed. (You can actually allow viewing-only, if you like, but your question implies you don't want your code seen.) The second is called Logix CPU Security.

For example, a ransomware infection shut down a U.S. natural gas pipeline for two days last February. In May, the Israeli Government issued a security alert after hackers targeted SCADA systems across the country.

Security may be crude (a hidden switch located on a printed circuit board, which only the maintenance personnel should know about), sophisticated (login names and passwords, like a multi-user computer system), or anything in between, depending on the level of development invested in the feature by the controller’s manufacturer.
https://control.com/news/siemens-launches-tia-portal-version-20-focused-on-improved-performance/
Overall, the expanded capabilities of the TIA Portal Version 20 will be used to reduce downtime through smarter, easier-to-test, easier-to-integrate code. The new version can easily integrate with multiple controllers, including Siemens’ newest controllers and those equipped with the latest S7-1500 CPUs, without sacrificing security.

Sensor fusion is now essential to smart factories, but success depends on more than adding sensors. Learn why data security, component authenticity and long-term calibration are critical to building reliable, predictive systems engineers can trust.

Designed for industrial code reading, the SICK SEC200 handles 1D and 2D codes in challenging conditions and adds Ethernet, USB, and CRA-compliant cybersecurity.
https://control.com/technical-articles/cloud-computing-and-the-industrial-internet-of-things/
In the last decade, cloud-service providers have considerably improved their technologies, particularly data security and integrity.

The OSM is GE's way of securely monitoring customer's GTs and and collecting data to bring it back to their M&D center. They will only provide and OSM if this attaches to their GE assets. In some cases, it is helpful for the customer, because GE can better support the customer when issues occur.

The zenon system also incorporates enhanced security features such as Access Level Control (or Authorized Login Control) for user-defined level access (e.g., Administrator, Operator, Engineer) and Multi-Client Authorization. In the latter's case, a person using a mobile device might access specific process data on the system dashboard.

Place a visibility animation on these navigation buttons so that they are not visible unless the operator is authorized (Expression: CurrentUserHasSecurityCode(B)). 4) in your project Systen/Startup/RunTime you can set an automatic logout at x minutes (I find this easier for the operators). 5) go to each display in your project (except the Logon display) and in the Display Settings of the display enter Security Code B.
https://control.com/technical-articles/remote-networking-explaining-vpns-for-control-engineers/
In more formal terminology, we might say that a VPN is a private network constructed within a public network infrastructure, such as the global Internet. Businesses can use a VPN to securely connect remote facilities and remote users using cost-effective, third-party internet access instead of expensive, dedicated WAN links or long-distance remote dial links.
