Cyber Security Care

We are enabling smarter system protection

Connected automation systems are making utilities and industry more efficient, more productive, and more economic, but they are also introducing new challenges to those organizations.

ABB fully understands the importance of cyber security and its role in advancing the security of substation automation systems and communication networks. By investing in ABB technologies and care agreements, you can be sure that the reliability and security of your systems have been given the highest priority. ABB’s three step approach to cyber security protection helps you to mitigate the risk and potential impact of a cyber-attack.

We are unique security assessment solutions.

Assessment and monitoring services for system software, system hardware and communication networks are fundamental in order to keep a system constantly secure. Overseeing the cyber security status of your system, ABB's collects system data for comparison against industry best practices and standards to detect weaknesses within your system’s defense. This pinpoints areas that require action to help protect your system by ensuring it has multiple layers of security.

Security assessment and monitoring

We are constantly vigilant for attacks and breaches.

Firewalls can protect the perimeter of a network and a well-designed security policy will separate the network into distinct, controlled zones, protected by internal firewalls to ensure that a compromised server doesn’t mean compromising the entire network.

Perimeter protection

Security updates and hardening.

It’s not just the anti-virus software that needs updating, modern operating systems and embedded software often need to be patched to defend against emerging threats. Efficient patch management is an essential part of any security policy, but one that is often neglected.

Security updates and hardening

We are educating and supporting system users

Cyber Security will always be a challenge on a global scale; no single solution can keep increasingly interconnected systems secure, so ABB works with customers to understand your processes and procedures, group security policies and computer settings to create a defense-in-depth approach where multiple security layers detect and deter threats – if, where and when they may arise.

Procedures and policies

We are evolving protection against sophisticated threats

Our substation automation systems can be equipped with industry-standard malware and intrusion protection solutions, like anti-virus protection and application whitelisting.

Malware Protection

We are preserving the past for a rapid response to tomorrow’s challenges.

If the worst does happen, and cyber-attack or natural disaster strikes, then the security of an off-site back-up will make recovery that much easier. ABB’s back-up solutions can ensure the integrity, and availability, of critical data, no matter what happens to the original.
