Cybersecurity Assessments for OT 

Comprehensive protection for your operational technology. 

Security threats force the industry to take action

Digitalization and the growing networking of machines and industrial plants are also leading to an increase in the risk of cyberattacks. Attacks by cyber criminals who can manipulate entire value chains often result not only in production outages but also in considerable damage to your image. To protect your operational technology (OT) in the best way possible, it is required to get transparency about the risk exposure of your assets. This allows cybersecurity threats to be identified and eliminated before they cause significant damage.

We provide more cybersecurity for your manufacturing processes

For sufficient cyber security resilience in production, many OT teams lack the skills, technologies and processes. Our holistic approach is designed to identify procedural security gaps and technical vulnerabilities before they are exploited by bad actors. In doing so, our security experts assess your OT environment and, if necessary, give advice regarding immediate countermeasures to prevent costly production outages.
  • Gain transparency of the risk exposure of your OT environment
  • Identify threats and vulnerabilities before real attackers exploit them
  • Increase maturity level of IT and OT operations
  • Be prepared to obtain ISO/IEC 27001 certification by external certification body
  • Give customers and business partners confidence in the way they interact with your business

Definition and Scoping of Assessment 

Defining and scoping of the assessment areas and test cases with customer

  • Analysis of relevant documentation and Infrastructure overview provided by customer
  • Performing a workshop to
    - understand the relevant systems and infrastructure in scope
    - Identify of realistic attack paths, analysis of security policies and system configuration
    - Define worst-case scenarios

The choice is yours - tailored to your needs

Friendly Hacking Analysis

Emulating real world attackers

  • Verification of effectiveness of security controls on a technical level.
  • Controlled and aligned hacking attempts of the factory infrastructure
  • Discovery and verification of realistic attack paths
  • "Proof-points" on feasibility and impact for evaluating the risk exposure

Organization & Process Analysis

Interviews with factory contacts, generally production IT/OT department

  • Understanding the setup of IT & OT how things currently work.
  • Identification of  risks and security status where urgent measures are required
  • Provide transparency about security issues

Your roadmap for a secure future

Definition of Mitigating Measures
