Siemens - Cybersecurity – Defense in Depth
With the concept of ‘Defense in Depth,’ Siemens offers a layered security model that provides comprehensive and in-depth protection for industrial installations. This concept is based on the recommendations of IEC 62443, the world's leading standard for industrial cybersecurity.
System integrity
The basic rule for industrial companies is to ensure uninterrupted production. It is therefore essential to protect automation systems against manipulation, unauthorised access and unwanted configuration changes at the control level.
Network security
Automation networks, systems and industrial communication can be secured via network access security, network segmentation and encrypted communication to communicate securely in industrial networks. For this purpose, Siemens offers solutions such as Security Communication Processors for SIMATIC S7 controllers. Reliable network management and security tools are part of the SINEC product family.
To ensure secure remote access, Siemens offers a wide range of products with integrated security functions (Security Integrated). These include Industrial Security Appliances SCALANCE S, Industrial Routers SCALANCE M for wired and wireless networks (4G/5G) and Security Communication Processors for SIMATIC S7 controllers.
Installation security
The security of industrial installations begins with physical access to buildings and extends to protecting sensitive areas using keys or access passes.
Siemens offers tailor-made security services for industry, including:
- Risk analyses
- Policy measures and processes for comprehensive installation security
- Implementation and monitoring of appropriate security measures
- Regular updates to keep security up to date
Choose Siemens' layered security approach and strengthen the resilience of your industrial installations – today and in the future

IECRead moreTo control the expansion of a silo park, engineering & construction company IEC called on Breemes. Being involved in the engineering from the beginning, the electrical service provider was able to make smart proposals for both the low-voltage part and the PLC control. ‘We have always been able to find each other well and when changes occurred, we were quickly on the same page with Breemes.’
-
TR Service - Future-proof low-voltage panelRead moreTR-Service provides industrial maintenance using all disciplines, from electrical and mechanical to hydraulic and pneumatic. With support from Breemes, the company installed a large low-voltage panel. ‘After discussing my summary plan with them, I decided to just do it,’ says director-owner Raoul Tielens. At Breemes' suggestion, the panel was future-proofed by preparing it for power monitoring.

Kusters - Putting weight behind itRead moreKusters was looking for a weighing solution for its banknote devaluation machines that was easy to integrate into the Siemens control system. Through itsme, they came into contact with the right knowledge carriers at Siemens. ‘For us as Kusters, itsme is not only a supplier but also a source of knowledge, with which we co-engineer certain components and process steps, such as this weighing system.’
-
Xeltis - Heart for businessRead moreXeltis develops technology for making artificial vessels and heart valves. When they needed a professional measuring machine for quality control, they knocked on itsme's door for control software and data collection. It worked out really well. “itsme has a lot of in-house expertise, they know everything about the hardware and they can switch quickly with partners. Plus, they're flexible.”
