CASE STUDY Schneider Electric HMI/IPC

Enhance OT Security with Schneider Electric* HMI/IPC and Intel® Hardware-Enabled Security Solutions How Does Operational Technology (OT) Endpoint Protection Help to Reduce Risk to Critical Infrastructure for Businesses Table of Contents: How Does OT Endpoint Protection Help to Reduce Risk to Critical Infrastructure for Businesses How Does OT Endpoint As businesses and industries shift towards digital transformation due to its advantages, Protection Help to Reduce operational technology (OT) endpoint protection will now need to assess all of the Risk to Critical Infrastructure potential cybersecurity risks associated with those decisions. Integration of digital for Businesses 1 technology into all aspects of a business has fundamentally changed the way operations are run. With digital transformation, businesses these days can use different Empowering Innovation with kinds of devices to access a business network, such as workstations or mobile devices, Enhanced Security 2 which has helped boost work efficiency, allowing them to create new business processes, make changes in real-time to meet the ever-changing business and market Drive Efficiency and requirements as well as customer's demand remotely. Productivity with Schneider Electric’s Human Machine Though the adoption of digital technology has opened up endless possibilities with Interfaces/Industrial PC 3 interconnection, enabling companies to transfer data between these assets, it also makes it more susceptible to cyber threats as this interconnection, if unprotected, can Don’t Trade Off Usability for be exploited by hackers. The real-world consequences of a successful cyberattack Security 6 severely affect not only the information technology (IT) system but also the entire operational processes in production. References and Resources 6 The worlds of IT and OT are converging, and with cyber-attacks posing as the unprecedented threat in today’s increasingly complex business operation infrastructure the need for OT endpoint protection has grown exponentially. Without proper protection, companies are at risk of cybersecurity threats such as ransomware, theft of Security is critical to keep our customers’ intellectual property, and more. Securing hardware is fundamental root of trust. Intel facilities running and increased security hardware-enabled security helps boosts protection and helps enable the ecosystem to means they can operate more efficiently, defend against evolving and modern cybersecurity threats. Schneider Electric's while protecting their people, processes Harmony P6 industrial PC powered by Intel's 8th generation processor is built with and operations. The objective of our security in mind. Security is a system property rooted in hardware, with every solutions is to be both breach-resistant component from software to silicon playing a role in helping secure data and maintain and breach-ready to support customers device integrity. Intel has a suite of technologies to build and execute on a defense in their own cybersecurity framework. in-depth strategy, helping Schneider Electric solutions to be more breach-resistant and Schneider Electric is proud to work with breach-ready to support its customers in their own cybersecurity framework in the OT Intel on their journey to bring to market space. processors which feature multiple hardware-based security measures that As cybersecurity attacks and data breaches cannot be realistically evaded entirely, the help protect data from the silicon up. objective of Schneider Electric solutions is to be both more breach-resistant and breach-ready to support its customers in their own cybersecurity framework in the OT Andrew Kling, space.
