Schneider Electric, a global specialist in digital transformation in energy management and automation, has launched Managed Security Services (MSS) to help organizations minimize potential cyber risks when dealing with the needs associated with operational technologies (OT) such as remote access and connectivity technologies.
According to statistics, in 2022, the manufacturing industry is the world’s major industry suffered the most cyber attacks. As the industrial network information security landscape becomes increasingly challenging, enterprises are increasingly aware of the need to deploy innovative cybersecurity solutions that can help minimize downtime, intellectual property leakage, and other losses caused by system vulnerabilities. However, in production practice, only a few enterprises will be equipped with internal resources or professional teams for cybersecurity, and it is even rarer in the field of OT automation.
Powered by Schneider Electric’s Global Cybersecurity Connected Service Hub, Schneider Electric’s MSS managed security service is highly flexible based on proven technology, helping organizations effectively monitor cybersecurity and take proactive action against potential threats.
“Schneider Electric’s MSS security managed services enable companies to implement industry-leading cybersecurity practices that increase their cyber risk initiative while ensuring regulatory compliance, helping them focus more on their core business.” Jay Abdallah, vice president of Global Information Security Services at Schneider Electric, said, “This innovative cyber security service, part of Schneider Electric’s portfolio of solutions that enable businesses to improve their operational efficiency, will be continuously upgraded and optimized to protect them from new cyber threats, now, in the future or as they may emerge.”
As one of the few managed security service providers in the world that can integrate security monitoring and remediation support, Schneider Electric is committed to providing high-quality digital infrastructure protection for the entire industry. The MSS security managed service accurately monitors known network risks and protects networks, systems and data based on specific network protocols and attack vectors in IT, OT and cloud environments. In addition, it can help enterprises effectively reduce risk when dealing with new cyber threats and sophisticated attacks in a specific technology area or operating environment.
The Schneider Electric MSS security managed service is open and vendor-free, and can be adapted to your existing IT/OT infrastructure, which can be expanded according to your budget and your own development. Combined with advanced machine learning capabilities and trend analysis, the MSS security managed service also continuously optimizes processes to respond to cyber threats in real time. In addition, Schneider Electric’s Global Cybersecurity Interconnect Service Center and global engineering and support team will provide 24/7, full range, full time technical support and service.
At present, the trend of industrial digital transformation is accelerating, and the information security risks that enterprises may face in this process are also increasing. Schneider Electric will continue to create innovative, efficient, safe and reliable technologies and services, and provide digital solutions covering the entire life cycle of enterprises to protect information security in the digital transformation of enterprises.
