Siemens - Cybersecurity – Defense in Depth


With the concept of ‘Defense in Depth,’ Siemens offers a layered security model that provides comprehensive and in-depth protection for industrial installations. This concept is based on the recommendations of IEC 62443, the world's leading standard for industrial cybersecurity.


System integrity

The basic rule for industrial companies is to ensure uninterrupted production. It is therefore essential to protect automation systems against manipulation, unauthorised access and unwanted configuration changes at the control level.


Network security

Automation networks, systems and industrial communication can be secured via network access security, network segmentation and encrypted communication to communicate securely in industrial networks. For this purpose, Siemens offers solutions such as Security Communication Processors for SIMATIC S7 controllers. Reliable network management and security tools are part of the SINEC product family.


To ensure secure remote access, Siemens offers a wide range of products with integrated security functions (Security Integrated). These include Industrial Security Appliances SCALANCE S, Industrial Routers SCALANCE M for wired and wireless networks (4G/5G) and Security Communication Processors for SIMATIC S7 controllers.


Installation security

The security of industrial installations begins with physical access to buildings and extends to protecting sensitive areas using keys or access passes.


Siemens offers tailor-made security services for industry, including:

  • Risk analyses
  • Policy measures and processes for comprehensive installation security
  • Implementation and monitoring of appropriate security measures
  • Regular updates to keep security up to date

Choose Siemens' layered security approach and strengthen the resilience of your industrial installations – today and in the future

    Avebe - A Good Night’s Sleep Thanks to FactoryScan
    Companies often have no clear idea of the installed base of industrial automation in their factories and warehouses. With FactoryScan, itsme can provide an overview of the current status of automation components such as PLCs. Potato processor Royal Avebe uses the results to update their component stock and assess future availability. The scan is intended to reduce the number of hardware-related disruptions Process Control Engineer Johan Wierenga has to deal with. It also helps him sleep better, knowing the stock is up to date.
