Cyber security in mechanical engineering

The mechanical engineering industry is the backbone of industrial manufacturing and its innovative strength makes it an attractive target for cyberattacks. The increasing digitalization and networking of machines and production systems creates new challenges, particularly in the context of the NIS2 Directive and requirements for critical infrastructure (KRITIS)

Problems

Three central problems in the industry are

Attacks on industrial control systems (ICS)

The networking of machines and systems in production (Operational Technology, OT) makes companies vulnerable to cyber attacks. A targeted attack on control systems can paralyze production processes and cause high costs.

Loss of intellectual property

Sensitive data such as construction plans, prototype designs or production secrets are a coveted target for attackers. The theft of such information can lead to immense competitive advantages for competitors.

Compliance with regulatory requirements (NIS2, ISO 27001, IT baseline protection)

Mechanical engineering companies are under pressure to meet new security requirements such as the NIS2 directive and ISO 27001 to ensure compliance while optimizing their production security.

Entry-level cyber security package

Your start to protection against cyber threats

Our introductory package provides you with a structured overview of your IT security situation. We identify risks, point out weak points and give you specific recommendations for action - comprehensible, pragmatic and according to proven standards.

1st BSI Cyber Risk Check

With an audit in accordance with DIN SPEC 27076, we systematically check your cyber security - in just approx. 2 hours with 27 questions.

2. analysis of your attack surface

We record all externally accessible attack surfaces such as public IPs and domains. By changing perspectives, we view your systems like potential hackers in order to identify security gaps at an early stage.

3. analyze weak points

An automated scan checks identified or named IP addresses for technical vulnerabilities. Any risks found are prioritized and evaluated in order to derive targeted protective measures.

4. report & measures

You receive a DIN-SPEC-27076-compliant report with clear IT risks and specific recommendations for action.

5. check improvements

A final check ensures the long-term security of your IT environment.
