TEST STAND FOR MONITORING, CONTROL AND ANALYSIS TO ASSESS THE IMPACT OF MALWARE ON THE FUNCTIONING OF A CERTAIN CONFIGURATION OF AN INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION SYSTEM AND METHOD IMPLEMENTED ON IT Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC G06F21/53 

FIELD: computer technology.

SUBSTANCE: certain configuration of the infrastructure of an industrial automation system (hereinafter – IAS) is formed on a test stand according to the obtained specification, which includes the composition and tasks of IAS components; a set of malware samples is obtained; the obtained set is tested on the formed test stand, during which causes and events leading to the malfunction of IAS components and field elements, for which IAS components are responsible, are identified, while testing includes a certain operation scenario of IAS components, where during the specified testing, the identification of causes and events is carried out based on removed parameters of metrics relevant to IAS configuration under test; identified causes and events leading to the malfunction of IAS components are analyzed on the test stand based on measurements of parameters of metrics that allow one to assess the performance and temporary failures in IAS components; the impact of malware on IAS configuration is determined.

EFFECT: technical result is an increase in the reliability of assessing the impact of malware on the functioning of a certain configuration of IAS.
