Software will identify vulnerable production assets automatically - Drives and Controls Magazine
Summary
“With Sinec Security Guard, customers can focus their resources on the most urgent and relevant vulnerabilities, while having full risk transparency in their factory,” says Dirk Didascalou, chief technology officer of Siemens Digital Industries. “It is unique because it takes the specific situation of the customer’s operational environment into consideration while providing a single pane of glass for security-relevant information in the OT area. When developing the Sinec Security Guard, we drew on our extensive experience with cybersecurity in our own factories.” Currently, industrial operators have to safeguard production assets continuously on their shop floors. This process is time-consuming and error-prone using existing tools, so factories risk missing critical vulnerabilities or producing false positives. “By combining our domain knowledge, Siemens and Microsoft make it easier for industrial operators to efficiently detect and address cybersecurity threats at scale.” Sinec Security Guard also supports manual uploading of existing asset information.
