Cyber Security for Operational Technology (OT)
Protect your critical production networks and assets
Manufacturing and utilities industries are striving to digitally secure their Operational Technology (hardware and software that control industrial equipment). Are the results up to requirements? With the rise of IT/OT convergence comes the added exposure to cyber attacks. Ensuring effective secure digital operations to maximize uptime and worker safety, to protect customer and business data and to avoid supply chain disruption is not a one off-challenge.
Proactively limiting the risk of OT networks is key to embracing the rapid pace of digital disruption. Our experts are committed to offering you a secure network that provides around the clock protection for your industrial processes and business critical assets.
Fujitsu collaborates with customers using three complementary services:
- OT assessment and asset discovery: analyzing your existing networks, identifying gaps in compliance and standards, establishing your risk profile and baselining your networked digital assets.
- OT network transformation: applying priority remediations to protect your OT networks.
- OT managed monitoring service: a 24/7 service identifying anomalous behaviours across OT environments.

We offer you the opportunity to fill out a few basic questions on OT security to assess your cyber maturity in your production environment. It is free of charge and takes only a few minutes.
You will receive a first indication of how far you are on your OT security journey and some next steps suggestions.

Customer endorsement
"We cannot control what we cannot see. In the past, our industrial control systems were air-gapped and isolated from more conventional networks. As the manufacturing industry is becoming increasingly digitized, we also had the challenge of greater connectivity and convergence between IT and OT in order to remain competitive and relevant. We chose Fujitsu to do an OT assessment for RPM because of their experience within our industry. Their service is based on a proven methodology, supported by OT discovery and analysis technology, to give deep and actionable insights."
Mark Rankin, Vice President of Global Systems at RPM International Inc.

OT Security webcast: What's it like to be hacked?
Pilz and Fujitsu sharing best practices
In 2019, Pilz – an industrial automation safety company – was hacked. In this webcast of 17 minutes Jamie Wilkie (Product Owner OT Security Services at Fujitsu) and Hansjörg Sperling-Wohlgemuth (Manager Public Relations at Pilz), have a discussion on cyber security within manufacturing.
Pilz was hacked in a classical way via an email attachment and open VPN portal. Company employees could not work with their IT at all and production was completely lost for one week before it could gradually be resumed.
Hansjörg explains that the company decided in an early phase not to pay any money to the hackers! Due to the good team and agile approach, Pilz actually managed to deliver the first parts again after a week, but the full process of recovery took a long time and was a tough journey.
Working with zones has turned out to be one of the success factors, and also raising the awareness of this issue to all employees to prevent this from happening again in the future.
This webcast was recorded at the facility of SmartFactory in Kaiserlautern, an industry/academia consortium of which Fujitsu is a partner too.
