Cybersecurity in manufacturing

Reliable network infrastructures against cyber attacks on manufacturing companies

Plants, production goods, nonetheless the entire manufacturing industry is becoming increasingly connected. This generates gigantic amounts of data on all levels and enables you to make data-driven decisions in real time.

To be able to use the full potential of this development towards intelligent production processes, manufacturing companies have to invest in IT security. They are obliged to provide reliable, digital services and secure data transmission. In order to protect sensitive business information and personal data against cyber attacks, it is necessary that you take technical and organizational measures in all relevant supply chains. This includes third-party suppliers.

Dedicated solutions for web applications, web services and cloud security help to protect your network architecture in your modern manufacturing environment.

Powerful and secure data transmission

A key element of IT security

The introduction of cybersecurity solutions in companies is sometimes regarded as a necessary evil. IT security is often not seen as an integral part of the value added chain and is thus deemed an unnecessary expense. The reasons behind this are e.g. the belief that the implementation of IT security technology will lead to reciprocal effects and require modifications to operational processes and to the configuration of the existing IT infrastructure.

However, due to the growing threat of cyberattacks and their enormous potential for damage, security mechanisms are indispensable. By providing and realizing the secure transmission of data in modern networks, companies and authorities are implementing an indispensable fundamental element of IT security.
