Siemens Cybersecurity Software Identifies Vulnerable Assets
Sinec Security Guard software automatically assigns known cybersecurity vulnerabilities to production assets.
Siemens’ Sinec Security Guard software offers automated vulnerability mapping and security management optimized for industrial operators in operational technology (OT) environments.
The Sinec Security Guard software can automatically assign known cybersecurity vulnerabilities to the production assets of industrial companies. This allows industrial operators and automation experts who don’t have dedicated cybersecurity expertise to identify cybersecurity risks among their OT assets on the shop floor and receive a risk-based threat analysis. The software then recommends and prioritizes mitigation measures. Defined mitigation measures can also be planned and tracked by the tool’s integrated task management.
For a comprehensive view of IT and OT cybersecurity, Sinec Security Guard will also offer a connection to Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft’s Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution for proactive threat detection, investigation and response. Once connected, Sinec Security Guard can send alerts for security events including attacks to Sentinel, enabling a security analyst to incorporate Sinec Security Guard insights and conclusions in investigations and responses with Microsoft Sentinel-powered Security Operations Centers.
Sinec Security Guard also supports the manual upload of existing asset information for asset inventory. Siemens recommends that industrial operators use the Industrial Asset Hub, the Siemens cloud-based Asset Management solution, to enable continuous automated asset inventory management.
Functionalities also include signature-based network intrusion and attack detection via the Sinec Security Guard Sensor, an Industrial Edge app, which gives users live information about their industrial network. The Sinec Security Guard Sensor App is available at the Siemens Industrial Edge Marketplace.
