ABB and IBM to bolster cybersecurity for industrial operations
ABB和IBM合作加強工業運營網絡安全

ABB and IBM announced a collaboration focused on connecting cybersecurity and operational technology (OT). As a first result of this collaboration, ABB has developed a new OT Security Event Monitoring Service that combines ABB’s process control system domain expertise with IBM’s security event monitoring portfolio to help improve security for industrial operators.

ABB和IBM宣布了一項專注於連接網絡安全和運營技術（OT）的合作。作為合作的第一項成果

，ABB開發了一項新的OT安全事件監控服務，該服務將ABB的過程控製係統領域專業知識與IBM的安全事件監控產品組合相結合
，以幫助提高工業操作員的安全性。

Industrial control system environments are increasingly targeted in cyber-attacks. In fact, IBM’s latest X-Force Threat Intelligence Index found that attacks on industrial and manufacturing facilities have increased by over 2,000% since 2018.

工業控製係統環境越來越成為網絡攻擊的目標。事實上，IBM最新的X-Force威脅情報指數發現

，自2018年以來，對工業和製造設施的攻擊增加了20倍以上。

To better connect OT data with the broader IT security ecosystem, ABB has developed a new offering that allows security events from ABB to be sent to IBM’s security information and event management platform known as QRadar.

為了更好地將OT數據與更廣泛的IT安全生態係統聯係起來，ABB開發了一個新產品
，可以將來自ABB的安全事件發送到IBM的QRadar安全信息和事件管理平台。

The ABB solution was designed according to a reference architecture jointly developed by ABB and IBM. It provides the domain knowledge needed to swiftly react to security incidents related to process control, and is especially suited for complex industrial processes in industries such as oil, gas, chemicals and mining. The new event collection and forwarding software which enables this integration is currently being used by early adopter customers and will be made broadly available by ABB in the coming months.

ABB解決方案根據ABB和IBM聯合開發的參考架構而設計。它提供了對與過程控製相關的安全事件迅速做出反應所需的領域知識，尤其適用於石油
、天然氣、化工和采礦等行業的複雜工業過程。早期采用客戶目前正在使用支持這種集成的新事件收集和轉發軟件

，並將在未來幾個月內由ABB大範圍提供。

This collaboration marks the first time that OT data and process industry domain expertise is being brought directly into a Security Information and Event Monitoring (SIEM) system, allowing threats to be managed as part of an organization’s broader cybersecurity operations and strategy.

此次合作標誌著首次將OT數據和流程行業專業知識直接引入安全信息和事件監控（SIEM）係統，從而可以將網絡威脅作為整個機構中更廣泛的網絡安全運營和策略的一部分進行管理。

Disruption of production due to a cyberattack or technical glitches can be costly in terms of lost production and damage to physical assets. Most mature operational monitoring is focused on the performance of the asset, whether it be a gas turbine for electricity, a drive system used to crush ore, or simple monitoring of pollution output from a chemical facility.

The new ABB offering allows ABB’s process control system data collection and forwarding technology to harvest event log detail from ABB process control systems, and share that information with IBM Security QRadar, which uses automation and artificial intelligence to help identify security anomalies and potential threats.

ABB的新產品使ABB的過程控製係統數據收集和轉發技術可以從ABB過程控製係統中收集事件日誌詳細信息，並與IBM Security QRadar共享這些信息
，後者使用自動化和人工智能來幫助識別安全異常和潛在威脅。

The ABB and IBM technologies involved in this solution are designed on open platforms allowing them to operate on the edge and deploy easily across hybrid cloud environments spanning on-premise, private or public clouds. The joint solution is designed so that security processes operate via automation and do not disturb industrial workflows. The security analysis in QRadar operates through a use case library, which automatically flags incidents and triggers corresponding alarms.

該解決方案所涉及的ABB和IBM技術是在開放平台上設計的
，使它們可以在邊緣端運行，並可以跨本地
、私有或公共雲的混合雲環境中輕鬆部署。聯合解決方案的設計使安全流程可以通過自動化進行操作，並且不會幹擾工業工作流程。QRadar中的安全性分析通過一個用例庫來運行，該用例庫自動標記事件並觸發相應的警報。

The two companies plan continued collaboration in the realm of OT security, in order to develop new capabilities and offerings that address customer challenges in this space.

兩家公司計劃在OT安全領域繼續合作，以開發新功能和產品來解決這一領域的客戶挑戰。
