Industrial facilities are increasingly integrating and deploying smart digital technologies into their OT infrastructure. As this happens, systems become more connected and the exposure to potential vulnerabilities and damaging cyber events increases. Eaton can help you develop a comprehensive strategy to mitigate risks across your electrical infrastructure and OT environment. Our team of certified experts is prepared to help you build up cyber resiliency throughout your operation so you can proactively respond to cybersecurity threats – resulting in minimal interruptions to your operations. With our support, you get peace of mind, knowing that your systems and most critical assets are protected.
Also known as Industrial Control Systems (ICS), Operational technology consists of software applications, computer hardware and network devices that help to interface and interact with the physical world. These systems are deployed in critical infrastructure like energy, water, healthcare and manufacturing to automate, monitor and manage processes and equipment operations in real time.
Historically, OT systems were designed to be self-contained and isolated from other business systems. However, with the rise of the Industrial Internet of Things and growing IT-OT convergence, ICS/OT is becoming more interconnected and exposed to cybersecurity risks.
As a result, ICS/OT environments shifted their focus towards cybersecurity controls to protect against evolving cyber threats.
Attacks on industrial systems can result in severe damage and disruptions to our physical world. A vulnerability on any of these critical systems not only puts the availability and operational safety of your facility at risk, but the security of higher value assets (intellectual property, financial records, customer data and more) on the IT network as well.
That is why administrators must be ever-alert to changes in their industrial networks. Security controls have to be designed, built and regularly maintained across the lifecycle of OT/ICS assets to ensure safe and reliable operations of critical infrastructure.
Safeguard your operations against evolving external and internal cyber risks and threats. Discover how cybersecurity services can be integrated throughout your system life-cycle today.
Our initial audit service is your first step towards establishing a robust cybersecurity programme. We will assess your people, process and technology, so you have a clear understanding of your strengths and weaknesses. From there we’ll work together, every step of the way, to develop a cybersecurity programme that is best for your operations and business.
Eaton’s comprehensive assessments are designed to thoroughly assess your cybersecurity practices, address vulnerabilities and consolidate your operations. We harness our electrical domain expertise to safely and passively collect data from your operational systems to minimise any disruption to your business or staff.
Our cybersecurity commissioning service makes it easy to ensure your operations remain safe, secure and available every time you add or remove components or make changes to your facility.
Eaton’s broad cybersecurity consulting and training services are designed to ensure your teams are educated on ever-evolving threats and prepared to prevent and respond to cybersecurity incidents.
The foundation of any asset management or maintenance programme is an accurate inventory. Eaton’s comprehensive assessments will produce a connected asset inventory and analyse your network for unauthorised devices and traffic.
