OT Networks & Cybersecurity

OT Networks & Cybersecurity

OT Networks & Cybersecurity

From the first cable to IEC 62443 compliance.

We design, build, audit, protect and monitor the industrial networks your production depends on, without stopping the plant.

10+ years

helping factories check, secure and certify their industrial networks.

< 24 h

to respond to a network fault, on-site or remote.

IEC 62443

Our team sits on the IEC committee that writes the standard.

Six services for the whole life of your network

One team from the first drawing to daily operation, so nothing gets lost between the people who design, install and maintain the network.

01

OT network design

Architecture, topology, redundancy and specifications, ready for tendering or deployment.

02

Implementation and commissioning

Switches, firewalls, gateways and remote access installed, configured and tested on site.

03

Network audit and AINA®

Field measurements and a report with clear priorities. See how it works below.

04

Troubleshooting and technical support

On-site or remote diagnosis, with a response in less than 24 hours and a written report.

05

Permanent Network Monitoring

Anomalies, configuration errors and attacks detected in real time. Connected to GlobalCare 24/7.

06

OT cybersecurity

Quick Scan, gap analysis and IEC 62443 compliance, from the first assessment to certification.

Network audit and AINA®

Adasoft’s Industrial Network Assessment is an independent check-up of your industrial network. We recommend it at commissioning, after structural changes, when faults keep coming back or as preventive maintenance. It runs in five phases:

  1. Preparation. Scope, documentation and topology, comparing what was planned with what is really installed.

  2. Field measurements. Cables and connectors, traffic load and error rates, signal quality, EMC, power supply, grounding and shielding.

  3. Configuration review. Diagnostics and alarms, timing, filtering, redundancy, throughput and security.

  4. Maintainability. Documentation, network access and permanent monitoring.

  5. Final report. Prioritised recommendations and a map of the topology we measured.

OT cybersecurity, the IEC 62443 way

Industrial systems can’t be protected like office IT. We apply IEC 62443 zone by zone, without stopping production or breaking qualified systems.

From first scan to certification

Four steps that take you from knowing where you stand to being able to prove it. Every countermeasure is tested first in our Cyber Security Lab®, which reproduces real plant conditions.

Cybersecurity Quick Scan

A fast first picture of your exposure: a regulatory checklist, a plant visit and a report of weaknesses ranked by risk.

IEC 62443 gap analysis

We compare the current Security Level of your networks and machines with the one you need, zone by zone, and estimate the cost of each countermeasure.

Security by design

For new plants, lines and machines: risk analysis, zones and conduits, defence in depth and the procedures that keep it all working.

Pre-assessment and certification

We pre-assess the Security Level of devices and systems and the maturity of your management system, and walk you through certification.

Functional safety

Independent assessment of your safety functions, from risk analysis to SIL and PL validation, for machine builders and plant owners.

  • Independent assessor of your functional safety management system (FSM), separate from whoever designed the machine or the line.

  • Risk and reliability analysis with FMEA, FTA, Markov models, RBD, Risk Graph and LOPA.

  • Verification and validation of safety architectures, functions and requirements, and of the SIL or PL actually achieved.

  • PROFIsafe and safety networks designed and checked together with the rest of your OT network.

Our Cybersecurity Center of Excellence in Genoa

Our OT networks and cybersecurity team works from Genoa (Italy), side by side with the University of Genoa, and supports Adasoft customers in every region.

Cyber Security Lab®

Real plant conditions reproduced in the lab to test systems, validate countermeasures and evaluate security vendors before anything reaches your plant.

Interoperability lab

PLCs, I/O, sensors, switches, gateways and industrial PCs to test the conformance and interoperability of industrial networks and fieldbuses.

Certified training

PROFINET, PROFIBUS, PROFIsafe and IEC 62443 courses for your team, in our Genoa classrooms, online or at your plant.
