Scope
GB/T 42445-2023 is the English-translated version of 工业自动化和控制系统安全 IACS环境下的补丁管理.
GB/T 42445-2023 deals with patching in industrial control systems, where the ordinary IT answer does not apply. In an office, patches are installed promptly and a reboot is an inconvenience. In a plant, the same patch may invalidate a supplier's validation of the system, and the reboot is a shutdown of a process that cannot simply be stopped - so control systems run for years on software with known vulnerabilities, not through negligence but because the risk of patching can genuinely exceed the risk of not patching. What makes that decision defensible is a documented process rather than an ad hoc judgement, and the information the asset owner needs to make it comes from the supplier, who is the only party who knows whether a patch has been tested against their product. This document describes the requirements for asset owners establishing and maintaining an IACS patch management plan and the corresponding requirements for IACS product suppliers, and recommends a defined format in which suppliers communicate patch information to asset owners. Under ICS 25.040 and CCS N10, it is written for plant operators, control system integrators and automation vendors.

GB/T 42445-2023 deals with patching in industrial control systems, where the ordinary IT answer does not apply. In an office, patches are installed promptly and a reboot is an inconvenience. In a plant, the same patch may invalidate a supplier's validation of the system, and the reboot is a shutdown of a process that cannot simply be stopped - so control systems run for years on software with known vulnerabilities, not through negligence but because the risk of patching can genuinely exceed the risk of not patching. What makes that decision defensible is a documented process rather than an ad hoc judgement, and the information the asset owner needs to make it comes from the supplier, who is the only party who knows whether a patch has been tested against their product.

This document describes the requirements for asset owners who have established and are maintaining an industrial automation and control system (IACS) patch management plan and IACS product supplier requirements: This document recommends a well-defined format for asset owners and IACS product vendors to distribute security patch information, and defines Some related activities such as the development of patch information by IACS product suppliers and the deployment and installation of patches by asset owners: determined The defined exchange format and activities are primarily used for security-related patches: Interchange formats and activities are defined for security-related patches, but can also be Can be applied to non-security related patches or updates: This document does not distinguish between operating system (OS), application, or device patches, nor does it differentiate between providing infrastructure components or IACS applications The product vendor of the program, but instead provides guidance for all patches applicable to IACS: In addition, patch types can be used to address defects, Reliability issues, operability issues, or security vulnerabilities:
Note 1: Discovering and disclosing security vulnerabilities affecting IACS is a general issue outside the scope of this document, and this document does not provide ethical standards and treatment in this regard: methodological guidance: Unless otherwise specified, "security" in this document refers to "information security": NOTE 2: This document does not provide guidance on how to mitigate a vulnerability from discovery to creation of a patch for the vulnerability: Multiple Compensation Measures to Mitigate Security Risks The implementation is part of the IACS Safety Management System (IACS-SMS): If you need guidance on this content, please refer to B:4:5, Appendix B of this document: B:4:6 and B:8:5 and other parts of the IEC 62443 series of standards:
