Together with the National Emergency Supply Agency and the private sector, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has created tailored solutions for improved cybersecurity and disruption-free operations for manufacturers. This, now ending KYBER-TEO project, will make companies and manufacturers more able to defend themselves from possible cyber attacks.
As you know, a cyber attack can easily cause millions of dollars of damage, environmental contamination and even personal injuries. If really serious, a breach of cyber security can affect the whole society.
To improve security and help companies defend themselves, KYBER-TEO project has developed tailored solutions – each company was encouraged to create their own security concepts and practices and purchase cyber-secure automation systems. “In the case of every company, the cyber security of the tested systems was developed even further and in a better direction,” said Principal Scientist, Pasi Ahonen of VTT. “Hopefully, the companies have also learned how to identify information security vulnerabilities or gaps in their systems.”
As a part of the project, a small online cooperation forum on automation-system cyber security was created. The goal is to deepen confidential communication in the future and help companies deal with security problems whenever they need advice.
