The Challenge: Security Risks in Industrial Factory Automation

The increasing connectivity of production systems brings significant cybersecurity risks. Legacy systems, expanding attack surfaces, and targeted cyberattacks threaten operational continuity and can lead to severe financial damage.

Common Cybersecurity Issues in Factory Automation:

  • Legacy Systems and Unpatched Software: Many industrial control systems (ICS) were not designed with modern security mechanisms. Updates are complex, creating long-term vulnerabilities.
  • Ransomware and Malware Attacks: Cyberattacks on industrial networks can cause downtime, data loss, and even physical damage.
  • Insider Threats: Negligence or intentional sabotage by employees can lead to production disruptions.
  • Insecure IIoT Devices: Connecting unsecured IoT devices expands the attack surface and enables cyber threats.
  • Remote Access Vulnerabilities: Unsecured remote maintenance and cloud access introduce additional risks.
  • Challenges in OT/IT Convergence: Different security requirements make seamless protection difficult.

The Solution: asvin as Your Cybersecurity Partner for Factory Automation

asvin delivers targeted solutions to mitigate security risks and build a resilient OT environment. Our innovative technologies protect industrial automation systems and support compliance with regulations like NIS-2.

Integration of system dependencies and predictive elements for cyber resilience in complex OT/IT environments.

Risk By Context™ shifts from static CVSS-based assessments to a dynamic model that integrates context,

system interdependencies, and predictive elements for cyber resilience in complex OT/IT environments.

Our Approach:

OT Cybersecurity Risk Management

Risk by Context™

  • Risk Prioritization: Identifying and assessing threats through graph algorithms, which prioritize critical nodes in the network
  • Risk Visualization: Identifying and assessing threats based on cyberattacks, geopolitical factors, and darknet analysis.
  • Identification of hidden dependencies between OT/IT systems that remain undetected in relational databases

Device Security Booster™

  • Patch Management: Automated security updates for connected devices without disrupting operations.
  • Firmware Security: Protection against tampering through encrypted updates.

  • Tailored Consulting: Developing security strategies focused on OT requirements and minimal downtime.
  • Effectiveness Evaluation: Practical assessment of existing protection measures.

Context-Based Security: Safeguarding outdated systems through network segmentation and continuous monitoring.

IT, OT and ICS Security Triads

It’s crucial to balance IT and OT security to ensure a successful security strategy that meets specific requirements and priorities.

Classic IT security strategies fail in factory automation. Why?

Because IT, OT, and ICS have fundamentally different priorities. While IT focuses on protecting data, OT and ICS prioritize system availability and safety. This blog post explains why traditional cybersecurity approaches don’t work in industrial environments—and what solutions can.
