Data backup
Secure your configuration and parameter settings so that you can quickly restore this data if
needed.
4.7.8
Security checks
Security checks for data, files and archives serve to protect data integrity at the storage
location and during file transfer from manipulation and transmission errors. This is often
achieved using digital checksums that are provided alongside the data. Tools (such as SHA-
256 or SHA-512) for calculating and verifying these checksums are provided in many systems
and named according to their respective calculation methods.
• File Integrity Guidelines describe the prescribed procedure for integrity checks
• Integrity protection is a protection function for engineering data and firmware files
• Communication integrity means protecting communication against unauthorized
manipulations to ensure high system availability. A central element in this regard is, for
example, the use of digital checksums when accessing controllers. (Source: Industrial
