Cybersecurity for industrial and critical infrastructures
solutions beyond physical protection
IT and OT managers face the challenge of properly and securely managing the opportunities and risks of digitization and networking.
Modern industrial systems – SCADA, PLC, DCS, and the like – have long since moved beyond the era of isolated operation. Interconnection with IT, remote management and automation have broadened the attack surface of OT systems. Physical protection used to be sufficient but digitization has transformed the risks. Today, an attack can result not only in data loss, but also in production downtime, business disruption or direct physical damage.
The role of OT Security in secure digitalization
The digital transition and the acceleration of automation processes have led to a dramatic increase in attack vectors. Random or targeted cyberattacks, software and hardware vulnerabilities, threats from the supply chain, internal abuse, industrial espionage and even infrastructure failures are all risks that require adapted, OT-specific defense mechanisms.
OT Security enables:
- secure and resilient digitalization,
- flexible and reliable automation,
- seamless IT–OT convergence
and the implementation of a zero-downtime approach.
OT SECURITY SOLUTIONS
IKARUS OT Security Solutions – enabled by OMIKRON
Benefits:
Real-time monitoring and proactive threat detection
The system passively monitors the entire OT/IoT network, tracks devices and their communications in real time, detects anomalies, and supports immediate response actions.
Vulnerability detection and device connection analysis
Through in-depth data collection, it detects the actual vulnerabilities of all devices in the network and is able to show the connections and dependencies between systems.
Signature-based threat detection and behavior-based anomaly detection
Identifies unknown or suspicious patterns through behavioral analysis, rather than relying solely on predefined rules.
Network segmentation and access management
Helps establish precise and secure IT–OT boundaries and introduce role-based access.
Incident management and compliance support
The service supports NIS2 and compliance with relevant industry and international standards (e.g. IEC 62443, ISO/IEC 27001) and regulations (e.g. GDPR, Security Documentation Regulation). It also provides event logging, incident response and traceability, helping you prepare for audits.
Additional benefits of the system:
- Flexible and scalable solution for managing cyberrisks and OT/IoT security gaps.
- Supports quick and informed decision-making (even in critical situations) with a clear overview of all OT/IoT devices and their communications.
- Early detection and response across the entire ecosystem, enabling timely response.
NIS2 cybersecurity requirements
The updated NIS2 Directive imposes comprehensive cybersecurity obligations on organizations providing essential and critical services. The IKARUS OT Security Solution operated by OMIKRON provides a complex compliance framework that:
- supports risk identification and management,
- reduces the impact of cyberattacks,
- helps with early detection of incidents,
- ensures traceability and logging,
- supports continuous audit readiness.
Regular status assessments and advisory support help to:
- create up-to-date asset inventories,
- maintain appropriate documentation,
- ensure operations compliant with standards.
This approach creates a holistic, professional OT Security ecosystem for critical infrastructures.
Support from the very beginning
we don’t just provide tools, we provide protection
This is not a one-time system installation, but rather phased partner support from consultation to long-term operation. We provide special support during the familiarization, consultation, testing, implementation and operation phases.
Throughout the entire process, OMIKRON’s team of Nozomi NNCE-certified engineers provides professional guidance and local expertise. Our outstanding experience in the field of critical networks is supported by IKARUS know-how which enables us to apply internationally recognized OT security methodologies and best practices in a customized manner in the domestic environment.
Steps in our collaboration:
Consultation and needs assessment
We present the OT Security service in an informal discussion and review the technical and business requirements together.
Testing (PoV – Proof of Value)
The system demonstrates its capabilities in a real-world environment.
PoV (Proof of Value) provides a quick, real-time snapshot of the status of your OT and IoT networks.
IKARUS Proof of Value (PoV), performed by OMIKRON certified engineers, provides comprehensive and practical insight into the security status of companies’ industrial networks, helps identify potential vulnerabilities, and supports the strengthening of cyber resilience. The PoV results in comprehensive reports and expert recommendations that significantly support the improvement of OT security. The results are presented by our team in an executive presentation.
System design and implementation
We design and build a complete protection system tailored to the OT environment according to your requirements.
Support - even in the long term
Operation is carried out by OMIKRON, while IKARUS provides initial support and third-level background support.
This solution is ideal for…
- Industrial manufacturing companies – such as those operating in the automotive or processing industries
- Critical infrastructure operators – where physical operational security is paramount
- Organizations subject to NIS2 – who also have a legal obligation
- Industrial and manufacturing companies that want to prevent cyberattacks – not just respond to them
