Stratsec is a global team of experts on a mission to protect human life, well-being and the environment against cyber-driven threats.
The cyber and physical worlds are converging. In our factories, homes, cars, even our bodies, physical devices are increasingly connected, monitored and controlled through digital networks.
As these cyber-physical systems (CPS) – industrial control systems (ICS), internet of things (IoT), robotics, drones - grow in necessity to human progress, individuals, organisations, and societies will need to update their definitions of what it means to be safe in the ‘real world.’
Maximized efficiency, improved utility: With benefits like these, it is no surprise that CPS have emerged as mission-critical elements in industries as disparate as energy, automotive, healthcare, aerospace, financial services, transportation, manufacturing, and other critical infrastructure.
However, the economic and societal rewards of cyber-physical convergence are burdened with significant risk. Once physical things get connected, physical processes become hackable in the same way as the software controlling them. Breaches of cyber-enabled real-world systems can then threaten lives, well-being and the environment.
Attacks on CPSs are rapidly increasing in frequency and severity, and Stratsec predicts such threats will soon dwarf currently prevalent privacy and financial cyber crime threats.
These challenges demand a multi-disciplinary approach that delivers novel solutions to unique CPS security challenges.
This is the work that Stratsec team members have been delivering at the frontline of CPS cyber risk management for decades. Our interventions are informed by a deep understanding of emergent risks and advanced CPS expertise in multiple domains.
Together they translate into the Strategic advantage: a true strategic partner able to map a client’s path forward, implement industry-tailored solutions, and manage CPS/ICS/IIoT security on clients’ behalf.
