OT/IT Security for the Digital Factory
genua offers comprehensive knowledge and expertise in securing networks and communication processes in automated production systems. We engineer efficient, scalable and reliable OT security solutions, especially with regard to remote access and maintenance, industrial cloud solutions, at the interface between IT and OT, for anomaly detection in networks, and for highly secure data extraction.
Our security experts help industrial companies to design a secure OT/IT infrastructure, select and implement OT security products for network security, and provide training and on-site support. Security technologies from genua meet the most stringent security requirements, can be easily integrated into existing networks and offer non-compromising, BSI-approved quality "Made in Germany".
A failure-free production process is critical to the success of any manufacturer. However, with increasing digitalization, production environments are becoming a lucrative target for cyber attacks. When classic data processing and production environments are networked in the context of Industry 4.0, then the challenge lies in combining the different requirements and objectives of the two domains in a single security concept.
The key problem is: A direct networking of OT and IT exposes the vast attack surface of the OT to a potentially insecure IT. This endangers reliable production and even safety, and thus human life.
In many cases, these are legacy, often proprietary, partially isolated (stand-alone) systems that are networked via fieldbuses with other computers within the same machine or with external sensors and actuators. It is essential to reliably protect such production systems from external and internal attacks without compromising performance or functional safety.
In particular, the opening of an internal OT network for remote maintenance access or subsequently installed data interfaces used for predictive maintenance creates potential gateways for attackers.
