Schneider Electric has launched a managed security services offering to help customers in operational technology (OT) environments. It will address the increased cyber risk associated with the demand for remote access and connectivity technologies.
“With the manufacturing industry reporting the highest share of cyber attacks in 2022, business owners increasingly recognise the need for innovative cyber security solutions to help minimise downtime, loss of intellectual property and other disruption caused by system vulnerabilities,” said the provider.
Powered by the firm’s global Cybersecurity Connected Service Hub (CCSH), the offering provides “proven technologies” as flexible services to monitor cyber threats and proactively respond on behalf of customers.
“We will help customers implement cyber security industry-leading practices, proactively address risk, and align to regulatory requirements, giving them the ability to focus on their core operations,” said Jay Abdallah, vice president of cyber security solutions and services at Schneider Electric.
As a vendor-agnostic solution, it fits into an organisation’s existing IT/OT infrastructure, scaling to their budget and maturity. Backed by advanced machine learning capabilities and trend analysis, it continuously optimises processes and addresses real-time threats, the provider said. The services include support through Schneider Electric’s CCSH, with a global engineering and support team available around the clock.
