Abstract

A method, with the aid of which an installation-wide security consideration may be carried out, that is not limited only to automation components of a single manufacturer, but that functions across all manufacturers, is provided. Through suitable user guidance and automated support in process-conforming execution of assessments, incident handling and the definition of security measures as well as corresponding tracking, the method has a high level of user-friendliness. A rule generator uses security criteria in order to develop user-specific analysis rules from a complex rulebook with a number of input values. All the installation-relevant data is automatically compiled in an inventory. The machine security auditor applies the user-specific rulebook to the collected installation data from the asset inventory, and from that, prepares the audit trail.
