Cybersecurity for digitalized battery production

Digitalized battery production relies on a highly connected ecosystem — and that connectivity introduces new risks.

Today’s battery factories integrate tightly coupled OT/IT environments, remote access capabilities, and complex industrial networks. As a result, the exposure to cyber threats increases, potentially leading to:

Disrupt production
Compromise safety
Expose valuable cell design IP

How Siemens helps

We support battery manufacturers with a multilayered defense-in-depth cybersecurity approach based on IEC 62443, including:

Plant security – Protecting access to sensitive areas and ensuring safe, compliant operations
Network security – Segmenting networks, securing communication, and detecting anomalies
System integrity – Ensuring critical automation systems remain protected and trustworthy

Defense-in-depth

Plant security for battery production

Battery lines need secure access to sensitive zones like formation chambers, electrode areas, and data rooms. Siemens supports this with access control, video monitoring, clear policies, and continuous monitoring.

Network security across OT/IT

Battery gigafactories use large automation networks with many entry points. Siemens secures these with network segmentation, DMZ concepts, SCALANCE devices, secured VPNs, encrypted communication, and centralized SINEC monitoring.

System integrity for critical automation

Core equipment like SIMATIC controllers, HMIs, SCADA systems, and SINAMICS drives are protected with built-in features like user authentication, role-based access, know-how protection, and hardened communication protocol.
