Embedded SystemsSafety and Security in an automated and networked world

TÜV SÜD Group

Interoperability is the keyAs standardized, linked modules, embed-ded systems can make full use of their potential. The interoperability of the com- ponents turns isolated measurement and control units into intelligent networks that pave the way for sustainable energy use, seamless mobility and efficient production.

We help you to tap into this potentialWe assist you with the integration of your devices into intelligent infrastructures, offering all relevant tests – from conformity assessment, which ensures that the components conform to the relevant stan- dards, to the interoperability of devices, the IT Security concept of the system as a whole, and risk management.

Smart embedded systems revolutionize our worldEmbedded systems play an increasingly important role in today‘s automated and interconnected world. They are the brains of many machines and find use in a host of sectors of industry (energy, chemical, oil & gas, transport & logistics). However, their presence is not limited to individual devices. As linked modules, they are the key to revolutionizing energy supply, developing intelligent transport systems, connecting production systems and business IT systems and bringing improvement to many further areas.

We put your devices through their pacesThe growing use of networked systems gives rise to new challen-ges in the areas of security and availability. In our testing labo-ratory, we assess your devices for their conformity with security and other standards to ensure they function flawlessly in the “Internet of Things” (IoT).

As industrial networking increases, requirements for IT Security in industry are becoming more rigorous

Networked systems are more vulnerable At the latest since the computer worm Stuxnet, we know that industrial automation and control systems, even when not directly linked to the Internet, are vulnerable to attacks. How can operators protect system functions and data against malicious attacks, sabotage and espionage? Malicious attacks not only jeopardize data security, but also the operatio-nal safety of systems and installations. Analyses, assessments and tests play a key role in implementing appropriate security controls against these threats.

At TÜV SÜD, we assist you in meeting this challenge. We put the applied embedded systems through their paces in our testing laboratory. We analyze your equipment and processes, assess vulnerabilities and risks and test the security of the system as a whole. Together with you, we work at ensuring permanently strong systems that provide high immunity.

Smart Grids, industrial automation systems and control systems of other critical infra-structures are increasingly built from standardized embedded systems. These open systems facilitate integration and reduce dependence on suppliers. Standardized com-ponents enable the networking of control systems, production equipment and office IT over large distances, cutting development and operating costs.

Smart Grid – Power from an array of intelligently linked sourcesEco-friendly, efficient and extremely flexible – Smart Grids are the future of electricity supply. Instead of purchasing power from only a handful of centralized suppliers, consu-mers can also feed electricity into the public network – for example, from solar power systems or cogeneration units. Both these small units owned by ‚prosumers‘ and large-scale plants such as offshore wind farms increase the share of intermittent energy sources. This is where the Smart Grid comes in, automatically matching energy supply and demand.

Smart Grid communicationsThe components in the Smart Grid need to be perfectly coordinated to ensure the decen-tralized supra-regional electricity grid functions without fail. For this reason, a host of standards including the IEC 61850, CIM (IEC 61970 and 61968), IEC 60870 and IEC 62351 provide the corresponding standardization guidelines.

Thanks to TÜV SÜD‘s long-standing experience in industry, we understand the challenges faced by energy producers, grid operators and large-scale consumers. At TÜV SÜD, we test the infrastructure for conformity with the standards and interoperability, and offer comprehensive services for infrastructure and system integration.

Embedded systems in the “Internet of Things”Smart Grids are only the beginning. The devices and machines of the future will increasingly be linked into networked environments, making our lives easier and more comfortable: Smart Home / Smart Living, Smart Mobility, Smart Cities. In all these areas, embedded systems ensure the functional safety and interoperability of the individual systems in the “Internet of Things”. At TÜV SÜD, we are your trust- worthy partners for reliable embedded systems in a networked world.
