From IT to Manufacturing: How Companies Secure Their Entire Infrastructure

Industrial companies are facing a new challenge: Digital transformation brings enormous benefits to production – but also new risks. Production networks, machine controls (SCADA, PLC), and IoT sensors are now tightly connected to IT systems.

However, this connectivity makes production facilities vulnerable to cyberattacks. A single compromised access point can disable machine controls, sabotage production processes, and endanger sensitive data.

How Can Companies Protect IT, OT & IoT Together?

By implementing an integrated security strategy that combines all components.

Where Are the Security Risks?

Traditional IT security concepts are no longer sufficient to protect production environments.

The biggest vulnerabilities in modern industrial companies:

• Uncontrolled access to machine controls – Who is allowed to access SCADA & PLC systems, and when?
• Lack of network segmentation – Attacks from the IT network can spread freely into production.
• Security gaps due to outdated controls – Many machines operate on unpatched systems.
• Lack of monitoring & threat detection – Many attacks go undetected for weeks.

The Solution:

IT, OT, and IoT security must be seamlessly integrated to effectively protect production processes.

The Holistic Security Approach for IT, OT & IoT

To protect against modern cyberattacks, companies need a centralized platform that monitors and secures all critical security systems.

With the CCNet Industrial Security Dashboard, companies gain an integrated security solution that connects IT, OT & IoT.

Clearly Separate IT and OT Networks

• Segmentation with Next-Gen Firewalls (e.g., Forcepoint)
• Prevent lateral attacks between IT & OT
• Secure machine communication via VLANs & encrypted protocols

Access Control & Authorization with IAM (Keycloak)

• Strict access controls for production facilities
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for maintenance access
• Detailed logging for compliance & audits

Real-Time Monitoring for IT & OT with SIEM & IDS

• SIEM analyzes critical security events in real time
• IDS detects attacks on machine controls
• Automatic alerts for anomalies in production

Integrating IoT & Sensor Data into the Security Strategy

• Monitoring of temperature, vibration, & energy consumption sensors
• Protection against manipulation & external threats for IoT sensors
• Automatic detection of anomalies & irregularities

Meeting Compliance Requirements for NIS2 & IEC 62443

• Automated audit reports for security certifications
• Detailed tracking of all security-related incidents
• Protection against fines & regulatory violations

Why Is an Integrated Security Strategy Essential?

• Traditional IT security is not enough to secure production processes.
• Uncontrolled access to machine controls endangers security.
• A cyberattack on production can cause millions in losses.

Industrial companies must implement a comprehensive security solution that unifies IT, OT & IoT on a centralized platform.

With the CCNet Industrial Security Dashboard, you keep your entire infrastructure under control.
