Siemens - Cybersecurity – Defense in Depth
With the concept of ‘Defense in Depth,’ Siemens offers a layered security model that provides comprehensive and in-depth protection for industrial installations. This concept is based on the recommendations of IEC 62443, the world's leading standard for industrial cybersecurity.
System integrity
The basic rule for industrial companies is to ensure uninterrupted production. It is therefore essential to protect automation systems against manipulation, unauthorised access and unwanted configuration changes at the control level.
Network security
Automation networks, systems and industrial communication can be secured via network access security, network segmentation and encrypted communication to communicate securely in industrial networks. For this purpose, Siemens offers solutions such as Security Communication Processors for SIMATIC S7 controllers. Reliable network management and security tools are part of the SINEC product family.
To ensure secure remote access, Siemens offers a wide range of products with integrated security functions (Security Integrated). These include Industrial Security Appliances SCALANCE S, Industrial Routers SCALANCE M for wired and wireless networks (4G/5G) and Security Communication Processors for SIMATIC S7 controllers.
Installation security
The security of industrial installations begins with physical access to buildings and extends to protecting sensitive areas using keys or access passes.
Siemens offers tailor-made security services for industry, including:
- Risk analyses
- Policy measures and processes for comprehensive installation security
- Implementation and monitoring of appropriate security measures
- Regular updates to keep security up to date
Choose Siemens' layered security approach and strengthen the resilience of your industrial installations – today and in the future
