Abstract: Techniques for configuring data protection settings for data of an industrial system or an electric power system are provided. The industrial system or the electric power system includes at least one gateway via which the data are transmitted to a computing resource for processing and/or storing. One or several privacy-preserving techniques to be applied to the data are automatically determined. The one or several privacy-preserving techniques being determined based on data privacy requirements for the data and processing operations to be performed on the data by the computing resource. The determined one or several privacy-preserving techniques are automatically applied.

Abstract: A combination of a component-based automation framework, software-based redundancy patterns, and a distributed, reliable runtime manager, is able to detect host failures and to trigger a reconfiguration of the system at runtime. This combined solution maintains system operation in case a fault occurs and, in addition, automatically restores fault tolerance by using backup contingency plans, and without the need for operator intervention or immediate hardware replacement. A fault-tolerant fault tolerance mechanism is thus provided, which restores the original level of fault tolerance after a failure has occurred—automatically and immediately, i.e., without having to wait for a repair or replacement of the faulty entity. In short, the invention delivers increased availability or uptime of a system at reduced costs and complexity for an operator or engineer by adapting automatically to a new environment.

Abstract: A method and system for automatic signalling an alert when a possible intrusion occurs in an industrial automation and control system, based on security events which occur in the industrial automation and control system or are externally fed into the system. The method includes the steps of: (a) determining a correlation of a first and second security event and storing the correlation in an event database, wherein the correlation includes a probability that the first security event is followed by the second security event within a normalized time period, (b) identifying a candidate event as the first security event, based on event information of the candidate event, upon occurrence of the candidate event, (c) classifying the candidate event as anomalous when the probability exceeds a predetermined threshold and no second security event follows the candidate event within the normalized time period, and (d) signalling the alert indicating the candidate event.
