What is considered a threat for eXtended Automation Engineering (XAE) and eXtended Automation Runtime (XAR) must emerge from a security concept for the plant. The IEC 62433 standard, which explains, among other things, the necessary threat analysis, provides assistance in creating a security concept. In addition, the VDMA guide can be consulted to help with security in operating processes and the resilience of products against cyberattacks: https://www.vdma.org/viewer/-/v2article/render/16110956

This chapter lists some example threats related to XAE and XAR without claiming to be complete.
