Webinar #2 – GSDML to GSDX – Specification for PROFINET

Are you interested in learning how the GSDML to GSDX specification for PROFINET can enhance the security of your automation systems?

We’re excited to invite you to an international webinar “GSDML to GSDX – Specification for PROFINET” where experts from PI will cover essential topics on this advanced specification,

Date: November 26, 2024
Times: 9 a.m. – 10 a.m. CET + 10 a.m. – 11 a.m. EST
Location: Online
Language: English
Cost: Free

Our security experts have developed a comprehensive security concept for automation, which is outlined in PROFINET’s specifications and offers three security classes to meet your specific needs.  In Security Class 1, the GSDX format is vital. A GSDX file securely packages a GSDML file and its content into one container, which is cryptographically signed to protect its integrity and authenticity, ensuring any tampering or unauthorized modifications can be detected.

Why the GSDX format matters

  • Combines files and their resources into a single container
  • Validates the authenticity and integrity of the content
  • Links the file’s origin to the vendor or publisher
  • Simplifies device integration into engineering tools

PI also offers a user-friendly tool for creating and signing GSDX files, streamlining the process and keeping your automation systems secure and authentic.

The participation link for both sessions will be sent 1-2 weeks before the event.
