Implement strong technical safeguards like data encryption, role-based access controls, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) to protect sensitive industrial data. These measures limit access and ensure data confidentiality. Also, use strict security practices such as data classification, network segmentation, and data loss prevention (DLP). Provide frequent security awareness training for staff and conduct constant vulnerability assessments to find and fix potential issues.
Sensitive industrial data
These comprise important firm data like trade secrets, research and development results, production processes and facilities, customer and supplier files, and technical blueprints.
If this data is stolen, organizations are at a great risk of sabotage, industrial espionage, losing their competitive edge, or facing unfair competition.
Possible threats to sensitive data
- Cyberattacks include ransomware attacks, unauthorized access, and industrial espionage that tries to steal or damage data.
- Mistakes made by people: accidentally mishandling things, losing secure access, and not getting enough training.
- Technical risks include hardware problems, software that is out of date or hasn’t been patched, and vulnerabilities that haven’t been fixed.
Important things Eminence Industry does to keep your data safe
- Encryption: AES-256 encryption for stored data and TLS 1.3 encryption for communications, with choices that can be changed based on how important the data is and what the law says (GDPR, NIS2).
- Better access control: multi-factor authentication (MFA), rigorous password rules, and role-based access control (RBAC) that are specific to different types of workers (operators, technicians, management).
- Regular checks: real-time intrusion detection using SIEM and IDS platforms made just for industrial protocols are examples of continuous audits and monitoring.
- Secure backups: approved European cloud providers with automated copies and disaster recovery plans that are checked on a regular basis.
- Proactive software maintenance: the maintenance includes regular upgrades and patch management that fits with industrial cycles. This includes virtual patching to cut down on downtime.
- Training employees to be aware of and protect themselves from cyber threats: Eminence Industry has regular training and awareness programs, such as e-learning modules, tight IT rules, phishing simulation campaigns, and incident drills to make sure that everyone on the team is more alert and ready to act.
- Following the rules and the GDPR: Yes. Our solutions make sure that you follow the GDPR by only storing data safely in Europe. They also follow worldwide cybersecurity standards for businesses, such as ISO 27001 and ISO/IEC 62443.
- Incident or suspected breach: Eminence Industry has a good plan for dealing with incidents. This includes quickly finding the problem, quickly isolating the affected systems, directly communicating with stakeholders, and safely restoring the systems utilizing backups. There is always a cybersecurity contact ready for alerts.
