Vendor-neutral consulting for operators of industrial control systems and product manufacturers.
The increasing digitalization and networking of IT and OT systems brings with it complex security requirements. Companies face legal, technological, and organizational challenges.
The networking of production systems creates new attack vectors. Traditional IT security is often not feasible due to contractual, organizational, or technical reasons.
NIS2 requires more than technology. It's about verifiable governance processes and active risk responsibility from management.
Historically developed control systems often cannot be patched. They require specific architectural protection measures for cost-effective availability and integrity.
Increasing interconnectedness and interdependence in the supply chain is attracting the interest of ransomware gangs, with consequences for customers and business partners.
