Remote maintenance

Remote maintenance plays an important role in industrial facilities. It enables service technicians and programmers to carry out maintenance work remotely in the event of a malfunction.

Since remote maintenance access routes are generally always available for maintenance purposes and security measures are often neglected in order to be able to react quickly in the event of a malfunction, such access routes are often used for attacks.

Measures at this point are absolutely necessary to prevent attacks that could disrupt system operation.
