Cybersecurity · OT security
Secure automation – together with experts.
Industrial cybersecurity is a field of its own, highly specialised. On these topics we work closely with proven security partners – so you get secure, reliable automation and the necessary specialist knowledge from a single source.
Why it matters
OT security is different from IT security
Industrial plants have their own requirements – shaped by maximum availability, long life cycles and grown environments.
Connected production
More connectivity, remote access and IIoT increase the attack surface of industrial plants.
Availability first
In OT, maximum plant availability counts – protective measures must secure operations, not disrupt them.
Long life cycles
Plants run for decades. Grown legacy systems need special, well-considered protection.
Our approach
Together with specialised security partners
Automation is our core business. For industrial cybersecurity we deliberately bring proven experts on board who deal with nothing else every day.
For you this means: a single point of contact, end-to-end responsibility and an approach based on recognised standards such as IEC 62443 and the defense-in-depth principle.
- Proven cybersecurity experts in the network
- One point of contact for automation and security
- Approach based on IEC 62443 & defense-in-depth
- Focus on the availability of your plant
Topic areas
What we cover with our partners
From the initial assessment to ongoing protection – the specialist topics are handled by our partners, coordinated through Lienhard Automation.
Security assessment & risk analysis
Make the vulnerabilities and risks of your plant transparent and assess them.
IT/OT network segmentation
Zones, cell protection and perimeter protection following the defense-in-depth principle.
System hardening & patch management
Hardening of systems as well as vulnerability and update management.
Monitoring & incident response
Monitoring, backup/recovery and a clear plan for emergencies.
