The Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) is driving a level of increased connectivity that affords companies opportunities like never before to improve efficiency and performance. However, connectivity through information technology always come with potential risk, and cyber attacks are becoming more sophisticated and more common. To ensure a secure environment, companies must take a proactive approach to cybersecurity. With a holistic approach, you can manage risk and protect operations and intellectual property.


Rockwell Automation is a strong partner on the plant floor and in the cybersecurity realm. Rockwell specialists can help you maintain your secure infrastructure, protect your assets, and optimize overall performance.








Cybersecurity Services Before, During and After an Event





Rockwell Automation can help you adopt a more proactive cybersecurity stance with comprehensive services you can trust to help protect your assets. Rockwell's holistic security program includes IT and OT solutions to protect your assets and manage threats before, during and after an event.


Cyber security experts will help you:


  • Identify your risk areas with security assessments
  • Improve visibility of the plant floor
  • Identify critical assets and risk
  • Protect against potential threats with continuous monitoring
  • Detect threats in real time
  • Plan in advance for response and recovery


Identify Your Cybersecurity Risk Areas with Security Assessments








The first step you need to take to manage your security posture is to assess the current state of things. While reducing risk to zero is impossible, steps can be taken to mitigate and manage appropriate levels of risk for your operating environment. This includes understanding your security posture within your software, networks, control system, policies and procedures, and employee behaviors.


With domain expertise in both IT principles and industrial automation, Rockwell Automation’s team has the expertise and skills to conduct risk management for your industrial assets.

Protect Against Threats







Once you have an assessment of your current security state and risks have been identified, the next step is to safeguard your enterprise against threats. The industrial security services team can help you develop and implement a cybersecurity solution to help protect your industrial control systems using a Defense in Depth (DiD) security approach.


Leveraging the latest in security technology, cyber security specialists implement protective measures such as authentication, access control, data security, and patch management. Solutions are deployed in compliance with current governing standards including NERC CIP, NIST 800-53, and NIST 800-82. These measures can help you with risk management and protecting business-critical information and critical infrastructure.




Threat Detection





Cyber security threats will always exist. Even with a robust security program in place, constant vigilance is required to keep attacks at bay. Rockwell Automation offers threat detection services to help you monitor and detect the increasingly complex threats facing businesses today. Rockwell works closely with Claroty, a leading provider of OT visibility and threat detection software, to provide comprehensive cybersecurity solutions.


These services identify normal network behavior. Then, using monitoring capabilities, they detect and alert you of activity that does not conform to that expected network pattern. This helps you identify unusual activities—activities that may pose a risk to your system—even before they happen.


Rockwell Automation integrates industrial cybersecurity software from providers who understand operational functions within industrial protocols and can help secure and optimize your industrial control network. These services give you visibility across all levels of the OT environment. This means not only threat detection, but real-time monitoring and deep network insights across your assets.

Respond and Recover





If a security event occurs, timely action is critical. Specialists from Rockwell can ensure you have a plan in place so you can respond immediately to address the cybersecurity threat using proven methods. They will work with you to contain the incident and minimize damage.


Cybersecurity incidents often result in downtime. Your priority is to get production up and running as soon as possible. Rockwell Automation’s backup and recovery services keep near real-time records of your production and application data, allowing you to recover quickly and return to production. Following system recovery, the industrial security services team also investigates the incident to potentially identify root causes and strengthen your resilience.
