The digital transformation is rapidly changing the industrial world. Production systems that used to be isolated and exclusively used internally are now increasingly connected to corporate networks and sometimes even integrated into standardised platforms. This opens up enormous opportunities: from intelligent analyses and predictive maintenance to efficient remote monitoring and more flexible production.
IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology): Two worlds are growing together
However, this new networking also creates risks. Industrial control and monitoring systems are attractive targets for cyber attacks. Whether malware, hacking or internal sabotage – the threat situation is real and can lead to production stoppages, security incidents or massive financial losses in an emergency.
The key question is: How can companies take advantage of digitalisation without jeopardising the security of their systems?
Our cyber experts at KPMG know both worlds – Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) – and know how to harmonise their different requirements. Thanks to our many years of experience in strategy, governance, cyber defence and incident response, we support companies in sustainably protecting their sensitive production and control data.
We understand the complexity of modern industrial environments – from SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)networks to decentralised control systems and highly automated processes. With this expertise, we develop security solutions that not only protect, but also enable innovation.
Our goal: to make your company more resilient so that you can take advantage of the opportunities offered by digital networking – securely, efficiently and with an eye to the future.
