工业网络安全市场持续增长

While traditional manufacturing industries were not designed with security in mind, the proliferation of networks and devices, disparate communication channels, and the use of off-the-shelf software has thrust cybersecurity into the spotlight. Safety and security concerns associated with the high levels of connectivity and integration are surfacing as the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) takes shape in the industrial networks and manufacturing plant floors. The alarming frequency of sophisticated and targeted advanced persistent threats has given further weight to the safety argument across both process and discrete industries.

虽然传统制造业在设计时没有考虑到安全性，但网络和设备的激增，不同的通信渠道，以及使用集成软件，使得网络安全成了人们关心的焦点。随着物联网（IOT）概念在工业网络和生产工厂初具规模，与高水平连接和集成相关的安全问题不断显露。复杂而有针对性的先进持续威胁的警报频率，进一步加重了整个过程和离散行业的安全参数。

Frost & Sullivan finds that the global cybersecurity market for control systems is expected to grow at a rate between 20 to 25 percent every year till 2021. North America and Europe will remain at the forefront of creating awareness and initiating technology advancements that address attacks from advanced persistent threats.

Frost＆Sullivan认为，一直到2021年，全球控制系统的网络安全市场预计每年将以20％至25％的速度增长。北美和欧洲将保持在提高认识并推动技术发展的最前沿，以对抗先进持续威胁的攻击。

 “Enterprises currently employ a broad, layered approach towards protecting cyber assets while industry organizations work on establishing suitable standards,” said Frost & Sullivan Industrial Automation and Process Control Senior Research Analyst Sonia Francisco. “Partnerships among government, industry and research institutes will be vital in forming robust, industry-based standards that will speed up the development of comprehensive security management solutions.”

 “企业目前广泛使用分层式方法保护其网络资产，同时行业组织也在制订合适的标准，”Frost＆Sullivan工业自动化和过程控制高级研究分析师Sonia Francisco说。“政府、行业和研究机构之间的合作，对于形成强大的、基于行业的标准，从而加快综合安全管理解决方案的发展至关重要。”

As the IoT concept transforms plant architecture, defence-by-default security strategies will give way to defence-by-design solutions. In-built security solutions that can sense, adapt, modify and respond to threats based on various ecosystem parameters will gain traction.

随着物联网概念改变了工厂架构，默认防御的安全策略将让位于设计防御解决方案。可以感知、改编、修改，并根据不同生态系统参数自动应对威胁的内置安全解决方案，将受到追捧。

Creating industry- and application-specific solutions will also be crucial as information technology (IT) solutions continue to stream into the operational technology (OT) space. Solution providers in the IT and the OT ecosystems must join hands to deploy end-to-end cyber security solutions for industrial systems.

随着信息技术（IT）解决方案与操作技术（OT）持续融合，创建特定行业和特定应用的解决方案也将至关重要。IT和OT生态系统的方案供应商必须携起手来，部署工业系统端到端的网络安全解决方案。

“Such extensive integration will require a new age workforce with both IT and OT expertise,” noted Francisco. “Cybersecurity service providers can provide training and change management solutions that will bridge the knowledge gap.”

Francisco 指出，“如此大规模的整合需要兼备IT和OT专业知识的新时代员工。网络安全服务提供商可以提供培训，改变管理方案，从而弥合知识鸿沟。”

As a majority of industries upgrade to smart systems and processes, industrial cybersecurity will soon make the inevitable shift from a reactive operating model to a proactive design philosophy.

随着大部分产业向智能系统和流程升级，工业网络安全从被动的运营模式向主动的设计理念转变，很快将不可避免。
