Due to advancing digitalisation and the rise of Industry 4.0, OT environments (Operational Technology) of critical infrastructures and manufacturing companies are increasingly targeted by cyber attacks. The interconnection of production systems with external networks makes conventional production plants automatically vulnerable.
Industrial companies have to further open their OT environments towards external networks. The complexity of the processes often requires deep integration into the internal IT environment or into the infrastructure migrated into the cloud.
Due to high availability requirements, production systems often do not provide the latest security level, and the including networks are often not adequately secured. This is the major challenge.
Often, conventional IT security measures cannot be applied as the production systems are too different or the effect may prove too invasive.
