Next-Gen Firewalls & Network Segmentation: How Companies Secure IT & OT Environments

Next-Gen Firewalls & Network Segmentation: How Companies Secure IT & OT Environments

Critical production facilities are more connected today than ever before – and that makes them vulnerable. Without clear network segmentation, cyberattacks can spread freely between IT and OT systems. Many industrial companies already protect their IT with firewalls, but traditional firewalls are not enough to secure industrial control systems (SCADA, PLCs) ...

Hacker Attacks on PLC & SCADA Systems: Why Traditional Firewalls Are No Longer Enough

Hacker Attacks on PLC & SCADA Systems: Why Traditional Firewalls Are No Longer Enough

Production facilities are increasingly becoming targets for cybercriminals. Hackers have realized that targeted attacks on industrial control systems (PLC, SCADA) allow them to manipulate production lines, shut down machines, or sabotage critical processes. While IT networks are often protected by modern firewalls, OT security networks are often unsecured or only ...

From IT to Manufacturing: How Companies Secure Their Entire Infrastructure

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 ...
