CE-Conformity Assessment Procedure
Systematic evaluation of your machine to ensure compliance with all relevant standards.
Cyber Security in Industrial Automation
Protection of your machines and systems against digital attacks — for secure remote maintenance and reliable production data.
Why Cyber Security Is Important
With the increasing interconnection of machines, control systems, and production data, the risk of cyberattacks and manipulation is also growing.
Whether through remote maintenance access, cloud connections, or networked components — every interface can become a vulnerability.
A functioning cyber security strategy protects:
- Your employees and production processes from downtime and sabotage
- Your data and machine control systems from unauthorized access
- and ensures long-term operational security and productivity
At the latest when the system communicates — meaning it sends or receives data or can be remotely controlled.
What for & When Cyber Security Is Required
Cybersecurity affects every automated system today – especially when:
- remote maintenance systems or VPN access are active
- machine control systems are connected to the company network or the cloud
- safety-relevant process data is processed digitally
- external service providers perform maintenance work
- or production systems are connected to office IT
Law & Standards
- Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 — protection against unintended interference
- IEC 62443 — Industrial Cyber Security (Best Practices)
- NIS2 Directive — obligations for certain operators and supply chains
We transfer regulatory requirements pragmatically into practice
Note:
Cyber‑Security is not purely at IT-topic, but an essential element of machine safety.Our Approach - Step by Step
