These companies typically operate multiple manufacturing plants, each with critical automated systems, such as assembly lines, industrial robots, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, and other IoT and OT (Operational Technology) devices. The purpose is to ensure that these industrial networks are protected against cyberattacks, minimizing the risk of production disruptions that could have a significant impact on operational efficiency and end-product quality.

Due to the pace of technological change and the need for specialized equipment, most organizations do not have the capacity to respond to today's sophisticated threats, leading to painful business processes, large ransomware payouts, legal expenses, reputational losses, etc.

In industrial environments, innovative applications and systems often coexist alongside equipment and operating systems that have been in the field for several years and will most likely need to remain in operation for several more years. These systems cannot always be updated, so it is necessary to establish protection mechanisms that make it impossible for cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities.

In this context, it is essential to design and implement a secure network architecture based on the segregation of IT and OT environments and the appropriate segregation of OT networks.

OUR VALUE PROPOSITION

Our service

Telefónica Tech ' s value proposition in IT/OT segregation and OT segmentation for industry lies in its ability to offer a comprehensive and customized solution that ensures the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of industrial systems.

What does it allow?

Isolate critical OT networks: ensure that networks controlling production processes are completely separated from IT networks, thereby reducing the attack surface and protecting industrial control systems (ICS) from potential cyberattacks.
Controlar y supervisar el tráfico de red: permitir una supervisión y control detallado del tráfico entre diferentes segmentos de la red OT, asegurando que solo las comunicaciones necesarias y autorizadas se realicen, limitando así los riesgos de movimientos laterales de amenazas dentro de la red.
Optimize security and performance: maintain the balance between security and operational efficiency, allowing the plant to continue to operate smoothly while minimizing cyber security risks.

BENEFITS FOR YOUR COMPANY

Protection against advanced cyber-attacks

The risk of a cyberattack compromising critical production systems is significantly reduced by segmenting the OT network. This is vital in an environment where disruption of the production process can lead to significant economic losses.

Regulatory compliance

Comply with automotive-specific cyber security regulations, facilitating audits and improving customer and business partner confidence.

Improved operational resiliency

With a well-segmented network, an incident in one segment does not affect the entire plant, allowing for rapid containment and recovery, keeping most operations running without interruption.

Improved visibility and control

Log collection and analysis, reporting and graphical representations provide a clear and detailed understanding of the status of systems, enabling organizations to make informed and strategic decisions.
