Secure industrial plants against cyber threats by protecting every level, from management systems to the field and from access control to data flows. Siemens’ defense-in-depth concept applies layered plant, network, and system security, aligned with IEC 62443.
The growing connection between production networks and office networks as part of IT/OT integration and the utilization of the Internet of Things have many benefits for industrial companies, including digitalized processes and cross-company collaboration in ecosystems. At the same time, they also increase the risk of cyber threats. With industrial cybersecurity, we enable the comprehensive protection of systems and plants.
Protecting individual areas is no longer sufficient. Our defense-in-depth concept is strengthened by Zero Trust principles and is supported by three pillars: plant security, network security, and system integrity.
Our development processes and factories are certified, and our products are hardened at the factory. We constantly incorporate the latest knowledge about cyber threats into the protection of our products.
As members of the Charter of Trust with our own Cyber Emergency Response Team, we proactively guarantee the most up-to-date protection for our customers and our factories.
The threat of cyberattacks is real, and these attacks are becoming more frequent. Comprehensive protection against internal and external cyberattacks requires a simultaneous approach that covers all levels – from operational to field level, and from data protection to secure communication.
Although there are hundreds of IT security standards, only a few have proven usable for the protection of industrial facilities. We advise you on the selection and implementation of the appropriate standards.
Starting October 17, 2024, the EU’s NIS 2 cybersecurity directive becomes effective, mandating certain industries to show cybersecurity readiness and report significant incidents. Learn if you're impacted and how we can assist you!
The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) affects all companies offering products with digital elements (PDEs) in the EU, regardless of their location. Discover the consequences and Siemens's response to them.
