Siemens provides cybersecurity solution for CLP India power plant automation
Siemens has developed comprehensive cybersecurity solutions for critical infrastructure, power and industrial control systems which conform to the latest international standards such as NERC-CIP (North American Electric Reliability Corporation critical infrastructure protection) and VGB, the European technical association for power and heat generation. The company has further strengthened its position as a leading provider of cyber security solutions. It will be implementing a cybersecurity solution for power plant automation at the Paguthan (Gujarat) plant of CLP India.
The solution will support CLP India’s efforts to bolster cyber security at its power plant by detecting threats and minimizing the risk of advanced cyber-attacks. The solution detects, analyzes and raises alarms of the threats that move laterally from Information Technology (IT) to Operational Technology (OT) networks. The solution also includes dedicated endpoint protection to prohibit execution of malicious applications.
Prashant Jain, Head, Power Generation Services, Siemens, said, “In today’s digitalized world, power plant automation systems require robust and resilient delivery systems. Given the increasing frequency of cyber attacks, it is very important to obtain a precise picture of the cyber security level of the plant and its associated Instrumentation and Control systems. Protective measures can then be implemented to remedy any deficiencies detected.”
“Digitalization, of which cybersecurity is a key component, will have a huge role to play in India’s demand for reliable, efficient and clean power growing by increasing amount of urbanization and industrialization. We look forward to collaborating with our customers in their digitalization endeavors,” added Jain.
Siemens provides comprehensive security solutions combining physical security, network security, and system and software integrity. Over the past years, Siemens remote diagnostic engineers have gained data from thousands of machines across the globe.
