Control system security (DCS/PLC/SCADA)
Your control systems, such as PLCs, should be protected from cyberattacks. That’s why we implement robust access controls to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to PLCs. We also isolate them from other parts of your IT infrastructure, reducing the attack surface. In addition, we provide you with a redundant server setup to guarantee maximum availability.
Cybersecurity
With many critical industries facing increasing threats of cyberattacks, authorities are imposing cybersecurity measures, such as the EU NIS2 Directive. Don’t wait any longer: make sure your operations are cybersecure. Not just to avoid fines, but also to guarantee operational continuity. We’re here to assist—from assessing your systems and giving advice to implementing strong security measures.
Cases
Converged ICT design for a new factory
Contec designed a converged IT system that is simple, sustainable, safe, and expandable for the start-up of a new plant. The system integrated all IP devices and has been running smoothly for several years, supporting the expansion of the factory without requiring additional hardware.
