Software automatically identifies vulnerable production assets

Siemens has launched a new cybersecurity software-as-a-service. The cloud-based SINEC Security Guard offers automated vulnerability mapping and security management optimized for industrial operators in OT environments.

The 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. It is offered as cybersecurity software-as-a-service (“SaaS”), is hosted by Siemens and will be available for purchase in July, 2024 on the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace and on the Siemens Digital Exchange.

It will also offer a connection to Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft’s Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) product for proactive threat detection, investigation and response. Once connected, the software can send alerts for security events including attacks to Sentinel, enabling a security analyst to incorporate its insights and conclusions in investigations and responses with Microsoft Sentinel powered Security Operations Centers.
