Security Line for Industrial PC: Building a "Digital Fortress" for Industrial Networks
In a Zhejiang chemical plant's control room, an industrial PC alerted abnormal data transfers to overseas IPs. Attackers stole core data via malware, causing over 10 million yuan in losses. Such cases are rising, with industrial PC attacks accounting for 42% of 2023's 67% increase in cyberattacks in China. Building an unbreakable defense for industrial PC is crucial for digital transformation.
Many industrial PC run unsupported systems like Windows XP, with hundreds of unpatched vulnerabilities. For example, the "PrintNightmare" flaw allowed remote code execution via printers. A steel plant suffered a 72-hour shutdown after 300 PCs were infected, losing over 1 million yuan daily.
Modbus, OPC UA, and other protocols transmit data in plaintext. Attackers can intercept and alter commands, as seen in a 2022 power grid attack causing blackouts. Insecure protocols like Telnet/FTP further expose credentials.
USB and serial ports are often unguarded. A car manufacturer lost research data after a virus spread via a private USB. Studies show 78% of industrial PC lack physical access controls, allowing firmware-level attacks.
BIOS/UEFI firmware lacks security, enabling persistent malware. In 2023, a backdoor in industrial controller firmware survived OS reinstallation, causing equipment failure and semiconductor wafer losses worth millions.
Minimize configurations: Disable unnecessary services (e.g., Remote Desktop), default accounts, and ports (e.g., SSH from 22 to high ports). A chemical plant reduced vulnerabilities from 127 to 9, cutting attack success by 90%.
Regular updates: Use offline patch libraries and automation. USR-EG628 supports batch updates via USB/network, with a 99.9% success rate.
Application whitelisting: A power company blocked WannaCry ransomware using this technique.
Protocol upgrades: Use Modbus/TLS and OPC UA with DTLS. USR-EG628 supports SSL/TLS at 1.2Gbps.
Network segmentation: VLANs/SDN isolate zones (e.g., production, management). A car factory stopped lateral movement after a breach.
IDS/IPS: USR-EG628's Snort-based engine detects SQL injection, port scans, and blocks attacks.
USB management: Disable storage via BIOS or software (e.g., DeviceLock). A military firm blocked Stuxnet variants using USB whitelisting.
Serial/CAN isolation: Use optocouplers or firewalls. USR-EG628's RS485/RS232 ports withstand 2000V isolation.
Audit logs: Track USB usage and file operations. A petrochemical firm stopped data leaks via log analysis.
Firmware signing: Verify BIOS/UEFI integrity. USR-EG628 uses ARM TrustZone to detect tampering.
Secure Boot: Load only signed OS/drivers. An industrial robot maker prevented unauthorized firmware updates.
Update audits: Log firmware changes. USR-EG628 stores logs for 10+ years, meeting compliance standards.
RK3562J chip: AES-256/RSA-2048 encryption at 500Mbps; secure boot chain; ARM TrustZone for TEE; IP40-rated, fanless design for harsh environments.
WukongEdge platform: Firewall with 1000+ rules; IPSec/OpenVPN encryption; Snort-based intrusion detection; automated backups; and detailed audit logs.
Standalone: A pharmaceutical GMP workshop hardened OS, encrypted Modbus/TLS, controlled USB access, and enabled secure boot, passing FDA certification.
System-Wide Protection: A smart park's energy system used USR-EG628 to segment networks, block unauthorized access, detect PLC scans, and meet Grade 3 compliance, reducing attack surfaces by 70%.
