The advancing networking and digitization of automation and IT systems as well as the growing threat of cyber attacks require increased investments in the protection of plants and systems to ensure security of supply. Siemens offers proven and certified security concepts such as the defense-in-depth concept and special reference architectures for the water/wastewater/desalination industry.
These blueprints were recertified in April 2023 and are available to project teams as well as system integrators. During recertification, all relevant innovations from IT-SiG 2.0, such as anomaly detection, were implemented. The documents are available to system integrators as well as Siemens project teams and provide a solid basis for secure automation systems for critical infrastructure and enable low-effort and low-risk adaptations to customer-specific requirements.
Siemens supports the water industry in achieving the necessary security levels in accordance with national standards through in-depth defense for plant security, network security and system integrity based on Simatic PCS 7.
Secure control system architectures according to IEC 62443
Whether your next project is a freshwater, wastewater, or desalination plant, we provide you with blueprints of system architectures that offer optimal protection from cyberattacks in plants of all sizes. Our sample architectures cover a range of typical applications and also include detailed guidelines for secure configuration.
