Smart factories and connected supply chains are presenting many
manufacturing companies with new security challenges. Malware,
manipulation, sabotage, faulty firmware updates and counterfeit
components are examples of digital threats that can bring entire pro-
duction lines to a halt and may lead to significant costs and loss of
image.
The tiniest security gap in a company’s infrastructure can lead to
theft of data, intellectual property (IP) and process know-how.
Safeguarding this sensitive information calls for tailored solu-
tions that deliver end-to-end protection yet also strike the right
balance between security performance requirements and financial
constraints. ...
Embedded security for Industry 4.0
Hardware-based solutions secure machine identities in smart factories
Security is a cornerstone of Industry 4.0. Software measures alone do not
generally provide sufficient protection against attacks. Hardware-based
trust anchors are required to effectively protect smart factories. Infineon’s
OPTIGA™ security controllers provide scalable security for embedded
systems, thus protecting machines, data and intellectual property in
smart factories.
Manufacturers need powerful, reliable security technologies to secure communication
between devices and machines within heavily networked infrastructures.
The OPTIGA™ product family offers scalable security solutions for a
wide range of industries
