A Strong Safeguard Against Cyber Attacks

The threat of cyber-attacks is growing worldwide, and critical infrastructure in the energy sector is increasingly becoming a target. Bachmann electronic has been committed to a high level of OT (operational technology) security for many years and has now underlined this with the successful certification of its M200 automation solution in accordance with IEC 62443-4-2.

Developing a product anchored on the defense-in-depth principle enables a defense concept with multiple layers of protection.        

At Bachmann electronic, plant protection is based on the “defense-in-depth” principle: coordinated protection measures at different levels of the controller increase resilience and minimize the impact of an attack. Both operators and integrators benefit from a resilient and future-proof solution and can efficiently build their own cyber security concepts on it.

IEC 62443-4-2 defines concrete requirements for the information technology security of components such as controllers, communication devices, and software modules. It aims in particular at product manufacturers and is a decisive step toward bringing industrial automation systems up to the latest state of the art in cybersecurity.

The M200 automation system from Bachmann electronic has now been certified according to IEC 62443-4-2. Together with the previously acquired certification according to IEC 62443-4-1, the entire cyber security chain is covered – from development and implementation to operation.

Bachmann electronic had already been certified for secure development processes in accordance with IEC 62443-4-1. Together, the two standards cover the entire cybersecurity chain – from development and implementation to operation.
