XiaK (<http://security.xiak.be/en>) or Center of Expertise for Industrial Automation in Kortrijk, Belgium is a research group of the Ghent University. Recently (3 years ago), a new project was started concerning Industrial Security.

These include the known problems on Siemens PLC’s or common switches and demonstrating sniffing, MitM etc … But foremost, since the target audience is Belgium and the SME’s therein, the most used industrial hardware for this region is actually a trilogy of Siemens, Beckhoff and Phoenix Contact. All three are major and large OEM’s that (should) have security as one of their concerns…
