Industrial & IoT Security
Industrial plants and IoT systems are now more connected than ever before. This connectivity increases efficiency and flexibility, but also makes companies a worthwhile target for cyber attacks. Attacks on production environments can not only compromise data, but also bring entire value chains to a standstill. With Industrial & IoT Security from OTARIS, you can protect your systems holistically, from individual components to the entire infrastructure.
Threat situation in the industrial environment
Increasing digitalization opens up new opportunities, but also leads to growing risks. Production facilities, control systems and IoT devices are now key targets for attackers, as they have a direct impact on value creation and security.
Overview of key threats
Outdated control systems without current security updates
Insecure IoT devices with default passwords and lack of hardening
Ransomware attacks on production facilities resulting in downtime
Manipulation of processes through external attacks
Growing dependence of critical infrastructures on stable OT environments
Typical weak points
In many companies, industrial networks and IoT environments consist of historically grown structures. Security mechanisms are often incomplete or missing altogether.

Lack of segmentation
IT and OT networks are not cleanly separated from each other, allowing attackers to move sideways unhindered.
Obsolete systems
Old control systems and operating systems without security updates are an easy gateway for attacks.
Insecure IoT devices
Default passwords and a lack of hardening make IoT devices particularly vulnerable to compromise.
Shadow IT
Unsecured or unregistered systems create a lack of transparency and increase the attack surface.
Lack of monitoring
Without continuous monitoring, attacks often go unnoticed until considerable damage is done.
IEC 62443
Our service for IEC 62443
Many industrial companies are struggling with outdated control systems, unsecured networks and a lack of processes for OT security. At the same time, the pressure is increasing due to regulatory requirements and growing cyberattacks. IEC 62443 provides a clear framework, but implementation requires in-depth technical and organizational expertise.
We help you to integrate the standard into your organization in a practical way. From the analysis of existing systems and the introduction of the zone and conduits model to the hardening of components and the establishment of clear processes, we accompany you step by step. Our approach combines compliance with standards with pragmatic solutions that safeguard your production and strengthen your resilience in the long term.
Our approach to Industrial & IoT Security
We take a holistic approach to sustainably securing industrial networks and IoT systems. Our aim is to identify risks at an early stage, implement standards in a practical manner and make security an integral part of your infrastructure.
Risk analysis and threat modeling
We identify vulnerabilities in your OT and IoT environments, assess potential attacks and prioritize risks for targeted measures.
Introduction of standards
We support you in the implementation of relevant standards such as IEC 62443 or industry-specific guidelines. This allows you to create a reliable basis for compliance and audits.
Securing devices and networks
We harden IoT devices, gateways and industrial controllers and secure networks through segmentation and access controls.
Monitoring and incident response
We establish continuous monitoring, develop alerting mechanisms and support you with incident response and forensic analysis in the event of an emergency.
Compliance & standards in the industrial environment
Industrial companies are faced with the challenge of complying with numerous specifications and standards in addition to securing their systems. In the OT environment in particular, standards are a decisive factor in making security measurable and meeting regulatory requirements.
Important standards at a glance
IEC 62443
Internationally recognized standard for the safety of industrial automation systems. It defines technical measures and processes to sustainably protect OT environments.
NIS2
EU directive that requires companies in critical and important sectors to demonstrate cyber resilience. Among other things, it requires risk management and the traceability of security measures.
Industry-specific standards
Many industries are subject to additional guidelines, for example in the energy sector or in medical technology. We support you in implementing these requirements and create a clear structure for audits and certifications.
What companies actually gain
Industrial & IoT security is not an end in itself, but a decisive factor for the stability and competitiveness of companies. With a structured security concept, you win:
- Secure operation - production processes run reliably and are protected from external attacks.
- Greater resilience - IoT devices and control systems are hardened and remain resilient even in the event of targeted attacks.
- Competitive advantage - Proven security increases the trust of customers and partners and opens up access to new markets.
