Industrial Cybersecurity refers to all measures that protect production assets, machines, networks, MES systems and cloud environments from manipulation, disruption or unauthorized access.
It spans the entire OT/IT stack: PLCs, machines, gateways, MES, SCADA, ERP and cloud infrastructure.
Prevents unplanned downtime and large-scale production outages
Protects sensitive operational data and IP
Enables secure cloud adoption (Azure, certified environments)
Ensures compliance (ISO 27001, IEC 62443)
Secures OT/IT convergence with a clean, layered architecture
1. Network segmentation
Clear separation between OT, IT and cloud interfaces.
2. Zero Trust principles
Authentication and authorization for every device and user.
3. Encrypted communication
TLS-secured data flows across gateways, APIs and cloud endpoints.
4. Secure identities & roles
Central identity management, MFA, minimal-permission roles.
5. Hardened edge & cloud components
Regular updates, monitoring, secure configurations.
A cloud-native MES ensures:
Azure-certified, audited infrastructure
Encrypted machine-to-cloud communication
Strict roles and permissions
Continuous updates without downtime
Central monitoring and anomaly detection
This reduces security risk and operational overhead while enabling scalable digitalization.
