n TECHNOLOGY AT THE HANNOVER MESSE, Siemens previewed a new SaaS (software-as-a-service) designed to identify cybersecurity vulnerabilities in factories rapidly. The cloudbased Sinec Security Guard offers automated vulnerability mapping and security management optimised for operators in OT environments. The software can assign cybersecurity vulnerabilities automatically to production assets. This will allow industrial users without cybersecurity expertise to identify risks in their OT assets and receive risk-based threat analyses. The software recommends and prioritises mitigation measures, which can be planned and tracked. The SaaS product will be hosted by Siemens, and will be available from July 2024. The initial release will support only Siemens OT assets, but support for thirdparty devices is planned. It will also be possible to connect Sinec Security Guard to Microsoft’s Sentinel Security Information and Event Management product for proactive threat detection, investigation, and response. Once connected, the SaaS can send alerts for security events, including attacks, to Sentinel, allowing security analysts to incorporate insights and conclusions into their investigations and responses with Sentinelpowered security operations centres. “With Sinec Security Guard, customers can focus their resources on the most urgent and relevant vulnerabilities, while having full risk transparency in their factory,” says Dirk Didascalou, chief technology oŒcer of Siemens Digital Industries. “It is unique because it takes the speci‘c situation of the customer’s operational environment into consideration while providing a single pane of glass for security-relevant information in the OT area. When developing the Sinec Security Guard, we drew on our extensive experience with cybersecurity in our own factories.” www.siemens.com/sinec-security-guard Software will identify vulnerable production assets automatically The new torque motor range from ETEL COST OF OWNERSHIP is reduced with TMB+making direct drive technology accessible for many applications. LARGE PRODUCT RANGE with new motor sizes, active lengths and winding variants, enables machine design flexibility. PERFORMANCE OF TMB+ is increased by up to 20% torque density with reduced power losses of up to 30%. ETEL is 100% dedicated to direct drive technology with a wide range of linear and torque motors, position and motion controllers and high-end motion system products. www.etel.ch Siemens’ cloud-based Sinec Security Guard will allow industrial users to match cybersecurity vulnerabilities to their OT assets, prioritise them and implement appropriate mitigation measures
