11.1 Secure system setup
11.1.1 Basic system hardening rules

Today's distribution automation systems are basically specialized IT systems. Therefore, several rules
of hardening an automation system apply to these systems, too. Protection and control relays are from
the automation system perspective on the lowest level and closest to the actual primary process.
It is important to apply defense-in-depth information assurance concept where each layer in the
system is capable of protecting the automation system and therefore protection and control relays are
also part of this concept.
The following should be taken into consideration when planning the system protection.
• Recognizing and familiarizing all parts of the system and the system's communication links.
• Removing all unnecessary communication links in the system.
• Rating the security level of remaining connections and improving with applicable methods.
• Hardening the system by removing or deactivating all unused processes, communication ports and
services.
• Checking that the whole system has backups available from all applicable parts.
• Collecting and storing backups of the system components and keeping those up-to-date.
• Removing all unnecessary user accounts.
• Defining password policies.
• Changing default passwords and using strong passwords.
• Checking that the link from substation to upper level system uses strong encryption and
authentication.
• Segregating public network (untrusted) from automation networks (trusted).
• Segmenting traffic and networks.
• Using firewalls and demilitarized zones.
• Assessing the system periodically.
• Using malware protection in workstations and keeping those up-to-date.
It is important to utilize the defence-in-depth concept when designing automation system security.
11
It is not recommended to connect a device directly to the Internet without adequate additional security
components. The different layers and interfaces in the system should use security controls.
Robust security means, besides product features, enabling and using the available features and also
enforcing their use by company policies. Adequate training is also needed for the personnel accessing
and using the system.
—
11.2 Access Control (Local view)
This section describes system hardening measures that can be taken to limit access to various
components in ABB AbilityTM Edge Industrial Gateway only for users with predefined permissions/
access rights.
11.2.1 Web server access

By default, Edge Gateway Web Server will have only below User ID and password from FACTORY:
User ID: [email protected]

Password: 12345678
During the first-time login with above credentials to Web Server, user is prompted to change the
password.
Password policy
For new password to be set by user, below are the defined password complexity rule which must be
met. A password must have:
 Password must be at least 8-characters in length.

 Password must contain at least one uppercase letter.
 Password must contain at least one lowercase letter.
 Password must contain at least one special character.
 Password must contain at least one numeric character.
 Password must not exceed maximum 15-characters in length.
Account lockout policy

In Web Server, if a user failed to authenticate 5-times with incorrect password, his account will be
locked. The locked period time is 15-minute and after elapsing this period, User is again allowed to
login into web server (with correct password only).
Password history
In Web Server, user password history is maintained and user can not set the last 3-passwords again.
If user enters the same password, he is prompted to choose another password.
Password RESET
In Web Server, OWNER (admin) can reset user password. A new random password is created for the user
whose password is reset and when same user login to Web Server with system created password, user
11
is prompted to change password.
If OWNER (admin) forgets/lost his/her password, the user can reset the password via Provision Tool.
Password validity
In Web Server, the validity of password is defined for 180-Days, and after expiry of this time, user is
prompted to change his/her password.
11.2.2 User accounts

Edge Gateway web server user account
Owner user in the Edge Gateway Web Server can add users with email ID as user unique ID and a
random password is generated for new user with meeting password complexity rule.

11.3 Ports and services
The ABB AbilityTM Edge Industrial Gateway provides 2x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports:
• ETH 0.
• ETH 1 (Local LAN).
The Internet Protocol (IP) communications in ABB AbilityTM Edge Industrial Gateway rely on two
parameters: IP Address and Ports. An Ethernet port (Local LAN) in ABB AbilityTM Edge Industrial
Gateway represents a physical end point to the network (LAN/WAN), to which it is connected. Typically
during commissioning, a network administrator assigns an IP address to each of the ETHs associated
with ABB AbilityTM Edge Industrial Gateway.
By default, the ETH 1 (Local LAN) is assigned an IP address of 192.168.2.1. During commissioning we
recommend changing these IP addresses. For local view models, ETH 0 can be connected to internet for
firmware updates. The Cloud-connected version uses continuously ETH 0 for data connection into ABB
Cloud.
11.3.1 Ports
Ports are used in IP communications along with IP address. Ports represent a logical end point through
which data flows from a source to the destination machine. Ports are identified by numbers ranging
from 0 to 65535.
11
Software processes within ABB AbilityTM Edge Industrial Gateway communicate on the network through
a combination of IP Address, Port and a communication protocol. A communication protocol, such as
HTTP, Modbus TCP, signifies a set of rules to be used when sending/receiving data over the network.
The table below list the ports used by various software processes in ABB AbilityTM Edge Industrial
Gateway accomplishing a specific functionality.
Application Type Application Interface Port Number Default state Connection Type
Name
Web Server (Local view) HTTPS ETH1 5003 Open/Inbound TCP
Daemon Server
(Provision Tool) HTTPS ETH1 5001 Open/Inbound TCP
DHCP (Dynamic IP) DHCP ETH0/WiFi/Cellular 67 Open/Inbound UDP
DHCP (Dynamic IP) DHCP ETH0/WiFi/Cellular 68 Open/Inbound UDP
Time Sync NTP ETH0/WiFi/Cellular 123 Closed/Outbound UDP
DNS (Name resolution) DNS ETH0/WiFi/Cellular 53 Closed/Outbound TCP
Modbus TCP (Device
configuration) Modbus TCP ETH1 502 Open/Inbound TCP
Modbus TCP (Field
devices communication) Modbus TCP ETH1 502 Closed/Outbound TCP
FOTA HTTPS ETH0 443 Closed/Outbound TCP
Please note that WiFI & Cellular is available only for certain models.
11.3.2 Device firewall

Network security in ABB AbilityTM Edge Industrial Gateway is accomplished by defining a set of rules used
by device. Internal firewall is a software application which allows or blocks any software program
executing within ABB AbilityTM Edge Industrial Gateway from establishing a connection on the network.
The network connection can be an outgoing connection initiated from ABB AbilityTM Edge Industrial
Gateway or an incoming connection to ABB AbilityTM Edge Industrial Gateway. The outgoing connection
rules are defined by creating outbound rules and the incoming connection rules are defined by creating
inbound rules.
The rules specify whether to allow or block a connection based on some defined criteria.
The table below shows a brief summary of the rules available:
Rule name Rule description
Allows TCP connection on port 5001 & 5003. This rule allows incoming secure HTTPS traffic
HTTPS for ABB AbilityTM Edge Industrial Gateway.
Allows TCP connection on port 502. This rule allows incoming
MODBUS-TCP Modbus messages which are further handled by Modbus Slave in ABB AbilityTM Edge Industrial Gateway.
Allows UPD connection on port 123. This rule allows incoming
NTP NTP messages which are further handle by NTP client in ABB AbilityTM Edge Industrial Gateway.
Rejects all TCP connection on port 22. This rule rejects all incoming TCP traffic for SSH for
Reject ALL incoming SSH ABB AbilityTM Edge Industrial Gateway.
Allow outbound DNS Allows UDP connection on port 53. This rule allows incoming DNS requests for name resolution.
The port 5003 can be firewalled using Provision Tool. User can add Local view (web server) to be available in eth0
and limit incoming connections by source IP address (Configuration → Gateway Connectivity → To Web Server)
—
11.4 Time service
Time used in ABB AbilityTM Edge Industrial Gateway can be synchronized using NTP client to an NTP
Server like Google NTP Server.
User can configure maximum three NTP Servers using Provisiong Tool. By default, one of the NTP time
servers is shipped along with the ABB AbilityTM Edge Industrial Gateway (with time.google.com).
User can configured all the three NTP Servers using CCT tool.
—
Figure 27
—
Note: It is recommended
to set the NTP
synchronization to local
11
network stratum 1 clock
Time Synchronization is performed at every Powerup of ABB AbilityTM Edge Industrial Gateway & there
after everyone hour.
