To address cyber threats to operational networks (OTs), which are on the rise with the deployment of Industry 4.0 & Industry 5.0 (Cloud, Big Data, 5G, Internet of Things), Stormshield recommends a single, comprehensive approach. The aim is to ensure that networks function properly and that there is continuity of activity for all players: energy, transport, industry, health, etc.
Cyber threats against OT on the rise
With processes continuing to be digitalised and automated, operational technology (OT) networks are increasingly open and connected to the Internet, leading to a convergence of IT and OT infrastructures. As a result, companies that manage industrial systems face increased risks in terms of industrial cybersecurity: espionage, sabotage, data alteration, etc. And their attack surface is increasing, with a major risk: a total halt to their production.
This is a wake-up call on the importance of protecting critical infrastructures and effective industrial cyber security.
Detect threats and protect your industrial activities with Stormshield
Stormshield, committed to industrial cybersecurity. Stormshield offers a holistic approach to this threat, securing the entire operational chain to ensure the availability, integrity and proper functioning of business processes and enable business continuity. This approach is based on a security mix: network, workstation and server protection, interoperability, monitoring and network management. It relies on a unique combination of IT and OT protection solutions to secure your production systems.
Getting to know the IEC 62443 standard and certification
The IEC 62443-4 certification branch attests that a product (hardware, component or system) complies with the requirements described in part 62443-4 of the IEC 62443 standard. This branch therefore concerns products that are deployed and used in industrial automation and control systems. In more detail, part IEC 62443-4-1 of the standard specifies the requirements for ensuring a secure development lifecycle. The main objective of these requirements is to provide a framework for adopting a safety and defence-in-depth approach to the design, construction, maintenance and retirement of products used in industrial automation and control systems.
The three Stormshield product ranges meet the safety rules of the fundamental requirements of the standard. They help industrial automation and control systems comply with IEC 62443 by providing perimeter protection, workstation protection and end-to-end data protection.
