Strategy development to increase cyber security in connected production plants

Objective

Operational technology (OT) faces major cyber-security challenges. To ensure sustainable and uninterrupted protection of the production systems, a large security program consisting of sub-projects in digitalization and cyber security is in place. These projects ensure that the OT systems are protected as well as possible and production runs smoothly.

Approach

• Monitoring the implementation of OT security standards and procedures.
• Conducting and supporting OT security reviews.
• Providing expert advice on OT security principles and practices.
• Conducting assessments of security threats and incidents.

Result

A sustainable and uninterrupted increase of the cyber-security level was carried out in accordance with national and international laws and in consideration of the group-internal IT security standards.
