What is a basic security concern related to scanner-adapter topology in EtherNet/IP?
- A.Removal of built-in authentication and encryption by the scanner
- B.Lack of built-in authentication and encryption
- C.Over-reliance on cloud computing, which keeps deterministic control timing intact across internet round trips
- D.Too many firmware updates being applied
Why B is correct
Many OT components like scanner-adapter topology in EtherNet/IP were designed for reliability over security and often lack built-in authentication and encryption.
