Abstract: An industrial automation system includes a collector component communicatively coupled to a first network and configured to receive one or more event logs via a first communication protocol. The industrial automation system also includes a first industrial automation component communicatively coupled to the first network and the collector component. The first industrial automation component is configured to communicate via the first communication protocol. Additionally, the industrial automation system includes a second industrial automation component configured to communicate via a second communication protocol, generate a first event log representative of a property associated with the second industrial automation component, and send the first event log to the first industrial automation component.

Abstract: A method may include retrieving, by one or more processors of an industrial automation component, one or more parameters from a configuration file stored in a memory of the industrial automation component and one or more additional parameters from a vendor certificate stored in the memory. The vendor certificate is cryptographically signed by an entity. The method may also include determining, by the processors, whether the parameters from the configuration file match the additional parameters from the vendor certificate, and in response to determining that the parameters from the configuration file do not match the additional parameters from the vendor certificate, transmitting, by the processors, an indication that the industrial automation component is an unauthorized component to a display device for display, disabling the industrial automation component, or both.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium stores instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to receive, via the processor, a command to perform a memory purge; retrieve, from non-volatile memory, via the processor, code of a purging firmware package; store, in volatile memory, via the processor, the code; execute, via the processor, the code from the volatile memory, thereby causing the processor to purge the non-volatile memory; and cycle power to the industrial automation component, wherein cycling the power comprises purging the volatile memory.
