Schneider Electric debuts MSS for OT environments – Technologist
Schneider Electric has launched a Managed Security Services (MSS) offering to help customers in operational technology (OT) environments tackle the increased cyber risk associated with the demand for remote access and connectivity technologies.
As a vendor-agnostic solution, MSS fits into an organisation’s existing IT/OT infrastructure, scaling to their budget and maturity.
“Managed Security Services will help our customers implement cybersecurity practices, proactively address risk, and align to regulatory requirements, giving them the ability to focus on their core operations,” said Jay Abdallah, vice president of cybersecurity solutions and services at Schneider Electric.
With the manufacturing industry reporting the highest share of cyberattacks in 2022, business owners increasingly recognise the need for innovative cybersecurity solutions to help minimise downtime, loss of intellectual property and other disruption caused by system vulnerabilities.
Few companies, especially those in the OT space, have specialised cybersecurity resources or expertise in house.
“As part of our wide range of solutions to make organisations run more efficiently, this new cybersecurity offering is continuously evolving, helping to protect our customers against new cyber threats that can, and will, arise.”
Powered by Schneider Electric’s global Cybersecurity Connected Service Hub (CCSH), the new MSS offering provides technologies as flexible services to monitor cyber threats and proactively respond on behalf of customers.
It monitors known risks and protects networks, systems and data across IT, OT and cloud environments – each of which has specific protocols and attack vectors. This new service can help customers to reduce the risk of emerging threats and sophisticated attacks that these unique technical and operational environments face.
Backed by advanced machine learning capabilities and trend analysis, MSS continuously optimises processes and addresses real-time threats. The services include 24/7/365 support through Schneider Electric’s CCSH, with a global engineering and support team available around the clock.
