Secure Architectures

We help you to design your OT infrastructure securely from the ground up - tailored to your individual requirements.

Secure OT architectures with Limes Security

In industries such as pharmaceuticals, oil & gas, machine building, energy and healthcare, reliable and stable production systems are the foundation for a company’s success. However, the increasing connectivity of IT and OT systems means that the risk of cyberattacks, malware and unauthorized access is growing. Even the smallest manipulation can disrupt processes, allow sensitive information to fall into the wrong hands or, in the worst case, bring entire systems to a standstill.

To ensure that production and business operations run smoothly, systems must remain reliably available at all times and at the same time be protected against manipulation and unauthorized access. This is precisely where a well thought-out architecture and the clear separation of networks are crucial – this is the only way to avoid outages, emsure secure processes and create the base for stable operations.

Many years of experience

Our experts have been supporting companies in industry, energy supply and healthcare for many years. This broad industry knowledge enables us to make practical recommendations that can be implemented by internal teams or external partners.

Standards and best practices

Our concepts are closely aligned with common standards (e.g. IEC 62443, NIST, BSI) and are based on proven best practices. We help you to demonstrably meet technical and organizational compliance requirements.

Safe and sustainable

Our OT architectures are designed in such a way that they can be easily adapted to new technologies, production processes and growing requirements – for a long-term, future-proof OT infrastructure.

One of the most important OT security controls is a secure network architecture and a clear separation of office and production networks! This significantly increases the availability and security of your OT systems. In addition, separating IT and OT networks is one of the best ways to minimize the risk of malware and other threats moving between networks.

We support companies in securing their architectures with various tried-and-tested measures:

Development of security architectures

We develop customized security architectures for your IT and OT environments – tailored to your systems, processes and regulatory requirements.

Technical and conceptual architectural reviews

We analyze existing OT and IT architectures with regard to security risks, vulnerabilities and possible attack paths. In doing so, we evaluate both technical implementations and conceptual design decisions.

Development and support of network segmentation projects

We support you in planning and implementing effective network segmentation to protect critical systems and prevent the spreading of attacks.

We combine security, operations and compliance

A strong OT architecture is far more than just a security framework: it opens up new opportunities to optimize processes, increase transparency and securely integrate modern technologies in order to seamlessly combine operations, security and compliance.

Asset Management

OT asset management includes the identification, tracking and management of all hardware and software components in OT environments such as control systems, production facilities and critical infrastructures.

Remote Access

Remote access should only take place via authorized remote access software. Clear guidelines for secure setup and use must be defined to prevent unauthorized access and security risks.

Identity & Access Management

Who has access to systems and devices, when and to what extent is clearly defined. An essential building block for the reliable protection of production systems.

Cloud enablement

Cloud enablement in OT security ensures the secure connection of machine data to cloud environments. This allows data to be analyzed centrally and used for modern applications - while maintaining security of the OT systems.
