1. Method for safeguarding the communication in a network with an intermediate arrangement of a safety computer system, realized as an embedded system including embedded hardware and embedded software, between a protection-requiring data processing facility and the network,
the method comprising the steps of:
monitoring and/or controlling data exchange between the protection-requiring data processing facility and the network by the embedded system,
wherein the embedded system is an autonomous unit including monitoring and/or control functions installed thereon, and
wherein all data required for correct execution of the monitoring and/or control functions installed on the embedded system are available on the embedded system, and
further comprising the step of:
establishing a connection for data transmission between the protection-requiring data processing facility and the network by the embedded system.
