Introduction
Current production methods increasingly require process control systems and the IT
environment to come together. The need to connect company networks to public ones brings
with it increased hazard potential. Information system and network security has therefore
become an important factor in operating process control systems. Accurate knowledge of the
sources of risks and the implementation of measures to prevent these risks from occurring is
of utmost importance.
Comprehensive knowledge of administrating Microsoft Windows networks is required if you
want to integrate PCS 7 PC stations into a PC network.
