Batch · safety systems
Chemical plants
Cybersecurity for the control systems running continuous and batch units, and for the safety systems alongside them.
Typical systems in this sector
The control systems and infrastructure we work with
- Distributed control systems running continuous and batch units, with recipe and batch management
- Safety instrumented systems with their own logic solvers, engineered and maintained separately from process control
- Historians and laboratory information systems, where OT data passes to the business network
Key risks in this sector
The services and solutions that address each one- 01
Safety instrumented systems that share network infrastructure, engineering tools or workstations with the process control system, so that access to one can give access to the other
- 02
Engineering workstations used for both the control and safety systems, which concentrates critical access on a single computer
- 03
Recipe and batch data moving between OT and business systems, where an unauthorized change can affect product quality and safety
- 04
Contractor and vendor access during changeovers and campaigns, when more people are on site and more removable media is in use
