Boosting cybersecurity: Siemens launches new all-in-one security testing suite for industrial networks
Siemens SINEC Security Inspector is an all-in-one security testing suite
Saving critical time for network inspection
“Siemens SINEC Security Inspector brings a unique enhanced testing solution to the shopfloor and enables customers to check their entire IT/OT environment including all individual components”, says Michael Metzler, Vice President Horizontal Management Cybersecurity for Digital Industries at Siemens. “Customers can promptly discover risks and potential hazards which puts them in a position to swiftly mitigate cyber vulnerabilities. This results in an enormously reduced effort when inspecting industrial networks.” As factories increasingly have different machine providers using vast vendor variety, manufacturers are faced with several challenges in terms of network security in their plants: asset identification and detection, compliance checks, malware scans and vulnerability checks. With SINEC Security Inspector all of these can be addressed.
Open framework integrates third-party security tools
SINEC Security Inspector has been designed as an
open framework. Besides offering security tools developed by Siemens it also
contains tools for vulnerability management provided by the cybersecurity
company Tenable. Furthermore, more internal and third-party testing tools will
successively be added to cover more test cases in future. “With industrial
companies transforming into digital enterprises, the importance of
cybersecurity has grown tremendously in the last years”, Metzler says. “As a
reaction, the SINEC Security Inspector was initially developed to scan our own
factories for vulnerabilities in networks. After years of testing and improving
this tool, it is now just right for protecting any industrial and manufacturing
environment.”
