28. A method for securing industrial automation systems, comprising:
-
receiving a request to access an industrial automation system; verifying that an initiator of the request is authorized to access the industrial automation system; generating an access ticket that comprises restrictive attributes based on the industrial automation system and the initiator of the request; relaying the access ticket to the industrial automation system, the restrictive attributes limit the initiator'"'"'s access to industrial automation system; and sensing whether the industrial automation system is communicatively connected to an access authority that issues the access ticket. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31)
