Protecting your operations and assets
The increasing prevalence of cyber-physical systems has revolutionised industries worldwide. These systems, deployed across various businesses such as manufacturing plants, energy suppliers, and railways, enhance efficiency, flexibility, and innovative business models. However, this increased connectivity also introduces a new risk landscape with escalating cyberattacks. To combat this, suppliers and system integrators must prioritise the cyber resilience of their components and systems by improving development, integration, and support processes.
Industrial cybersecurity is a critical field that focuses on safeguarding industrial information systems. It involves analysing potential attacks and threats, identifying vulnerabilities, implementing robust cybersecurity solutions, and significantly mitigating risks. The importance of industrial cybersecurity cannot be overstated, as a cyber-attack on industrial systems can lead to devastating consequences, compromising data, infrastructure, and the entire operational ecosystem. Therefore, industrial cybersecurity is an integral aspect of any cyber-physical operation.
Industrial cybersecurity holds immense importance in today's interconnected world. A security breach within a connected industrial application can jeopardise an entire facility, resulting in severe repercussions for operations, personnel, and equipment.
Vulnerabilities can arise at any stage of a component or system's lifecycle, necessitating proactive planning and the integration of security measures from the start. Whether during specification, design, production, or support, component suppliers must consider how to optimize the cyber resilience of connected devices throughout their lifespan. Likewise, system integrators need to anticipate potential threats and account for them in their automated solutions. Even when the specific configuration and threats remain uncertain, risk mitigation is crucial. Additionally, transparent security capabilities from suppliers and integrators are vital for building trust with potential buyers.
Industrial cybersecurity faces numerous challenges, including targeted external attacks aimed at hindering production or compromising product quality. Indiscriminate external attacks, ransomware attacks, and actions by disgruntled employees further compound the risks.
