New technologies require new approaches to security issues

Industry 4.0 is driving forward the networking of machines and plant, as well as closer integration with corporate IT, at a rapid pace. Seamless collaboration between industrial security and IT security is a fundamental prerequisite for Industry 4.0 to function effectively. However, new technologies also give rise to new security risks. 

 

Why is industrial cybersecurity important?

  • Increasing connectivity: 

    The digitalisation and networking of plant and machinery not only brings benefits such as higher productivity, but also an increased risk of cyberattacks. 

  • Serious consequences: 

    A successful attack can lead to significant financial losses due to production downtime and jeopardise the infrastructure. 

  • Regulatory requirements: 

    New and existing regulations, such as the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and the NIS2 Directive, require a higher level of cyber security in industrial environments.
