IT/OT security for the chemical industry

Cybersecurity in the chemical industry covers a broad spectrum of relevant activities and solutions. Over the last 20 years, plants have become increasingly “smart”, innovative and connected. With the aim of increasing efficiency, more and more companies are using IoT devices and connecting the OT environment with their IT infrastructure to make the control process even more transparent, convenient and secure.

Given the high demand for interconnectivity between your IT (office) and OT (operational) environments, you are making the job of malicious actors much easier. According to numerous statistics from various reputable sources[1], more and more OT environments are being compromised by successful intrusions into your IT environment, resulting in a higher number of business interruptions, physical damage and security incidents.
A secure design and implementation of your network is the most efficient way to prevent unauthorized access to and tampering with your operational equipment. Backed by a solid experience in OT cybersecurity and driven by the IEC 62443 standard, CYBERSHIELD offers the full scope of relevant services to secure networks in your facilities. This includes the design and implementation of a secure network architecture, the analysis of existing network architectures resulting in the definition and (if required) implementation of efficient, state-of-the-art security measures and controls, the segmentation of the network into security zones and conduits and much more.
