As businesses reap the benefits that greater connectivity provides for productivity and safety, there are also risks. More connection points can create more entrance points for security threats. These threats can be physical or digital, internal or external, malicious or unintentional. And they can pose a danger in many ways, including intellectual property loss, disrupted operations and compromised product quality.
Safety is perhaps the least discussed implication of security threats.
For starters, compromised safety systems that don’t stop machines when they reach a dangerous state or when a safety device is triggered can expose workers to the very threat from which they were supposed to be protected. Additionally, safety systems that aren’t able to stop production beyond certain operating conditions can expose other employees or an entire plant to risks, such as fires, chemical leaks or explosions.
