Integrated cyber security - to secure your machines

In the context of digitalization and industrial development, cyber security is becoming increasingly important. Meshing IT and OT creates new areas of attack, as not only IT but also machines and production systems are becoming targets for cyber attacks. These attacks can cause production downtime, machine standstills and data loss.

Machine builders and operators must protect their expertise and the availability of their machines and systems against cyber attacks. The implementation of the NIS-2 directive and the upcoming Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) will make this even more urgent.

Our added value for your cyber security

With over 1,000 projects per year, we are an experienced partner for automation systems, digitalization and cyber security. We support you in designing your cyber security concept and, with the help of our solutions, increase the cyber resilience of your applications. This minimizes the risk of downtime.

We live security by design and our development processes follow the known standards and norms, such as IEC 62443. In addition, we are already taking the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) into account and are working on fulfilling the criteria of Security Level 2 according to IEC 62443-4-2.

Legal framework (valid for EU)

Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)

From presumably fall 2027, machine builders and suppliers will only be allowed to sell components and machines with digital elements that meet the cyber security requirements of the CRA. Lenze is also committed to these requirements.

Network & Information Security Directive 2 (NIS-2)

From fall 2024, the contents of the NIS-2 directive will apply to machine operators and builders in the EU. This includes far-reaching cyber security obligations such as backup management, disaster recovery and established crisis management.

A glimpse into the future... “Less is more”

In a world where cyber security is becoming increasingly critical, fewer activated functions mean fewer attack targets. 森林舞会游戏 that require users to activate functions and interfaces are becoming the standard. Lenze is adapting to this development and will deliver products in a smart “secure-by-default” configuration in future.
