Industrial IOT

The development of Industry 4.0 is characterized by the convergence of IT and OT. The interdependence of systems creates security breaches and risks on the operation of industrial sites (production stoppage, loss of data, modification of configurations, deterioration of performance, etc.).

Sites implementing critical assets see several generations of equipment coexisting with different security rules. Certain equipment without any access management system or simply equipped with obsolete perimeter protection systems.

Our technical team is made up of electronics experts, industrial systems experts, low-level programming engineers, IT developers and pentesters and is supported by the Governance and Compliance center of expertise at Scassi Conseil.

We practice cybersecurity of ioT, ICS and SCADA systems every day through our missions but also because we edit our own line of cybersecure industrial IOT MIOT. SCASSI a également founded the Smart & Secure IoT label deployed today by the IT cluster in Occitanie Digital 113 to help the community integrate a 1st level of cybersecurity into the ioT chain

Some examples of projects carried out by SCASSI engineers

Configuration audit and support for securing industrial installations

Sécurisation de firmware sur des composants ioT.

Support and training for maintaining the IoT security plan for critical assets.

Hardware and software intrusion tests on the IT and OT elements of the installation.

Some examples of projects carried out by SCASSI engineers

Inventory of equipment and mapping of IT / OT interconnections, identification of access points, analysis of vulnerabilities (equipment, systems, software, organization).

Technical and organizational recommendations in terms of cybersecurity.

Taking into account new requests for monitoring and piloting industrial assets through, for example, predictive maintenance with massive use of new objects connected or made connected by the addition of connected gateways.
