Industrial networks face cyber threats as IT and OT converge, exposing legacy systems to unauthorized access. Traditional perimeter security is insufficient with remote work and cloud integration expanding attack surfaces. SINEC Secure Connect addresses these challenges by virtualizing network structures, enabling policy-based security, and making OT infrastructure invisible to outsiders. It supports Zero Trust and integrates seamlessly.
SINEC Secure Connect supports IEC 62443 compliance with embedded zero-trust and identity management, simplifying machine management and reducing admin effort by separating virtual overlays from physical device IPs.
No changes to existing network architecture are required. Virtual overlays can integrate with current devices and perimeter security, enabling secure deployment without production interruption or costly infrastructure upgrades.
Separate control and data planes allow communications to be designed for local, remote data center, or cloud, supporting diverse network strategies and future-proofing OT connectivity as needs evolve.
SINEC Secure Connect virtualizes network structures, maintaining participant rights and communication relationships. This enables policy-based security and simplifies management, even as the network grows.
The platform can be easily integrated into existing industrial networks, enhancing protection for both IT and OT devices without requiring system conversion or disrupting ongoing operations.
Implements Zero Trust principles by continuously verifying identity and integrity for every access request, ensuring authorized communication and protecting OT infrastructure from unauthorized access.

In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions only form one element of such a concept. For more information about industrial security, please visit.
