Cyber Security Assessment provides detailed information about your Operational Technology (OT) system infrastructure from a Cyber Security point of view. ABB will use this information to design a solution that will deploy and maintain Cyber Security Services for your system for lifecycle operation. 

ABB’s recommended solutions are designed to meet specific corporate requirements, guidelines, and to help comply with any relevant standards.

The five main areas are: 

• Security patch updates 
• Malware protection
• User and access privileges  
• Backup and recovery 
• Network security 

The Cyber Security Assessment identifies strengths and weaknesses for defending against a cyber-attack on your control systems by gathering data from critical system configurations and key personnel and comparing them against industry best practices. The resulting report provides detailed recommendations to reduce cyber security vulnerabilities, while helping you develop a focused and sustainable security strategy for control systems. The Assessment is non-invasive and can be applied to any control system.

•  ABB will conduct a data collection on site through interviews, documentation gathering, and the use of data collection tools.

• ABB will complete a visual audit of different parts of the site by walking through and visually inspecting cabinets, computers, and other cyber assets.

• ABB can work with site personnel to identify the cyber assets and review documentation. 

After the data collection, a Cyber Security specialist will analyze and compose the data gathered into a report.  The report exposes the cyber security weaknesses within the control system infrastructure and will give recommendations to reduce vulnerable areas. ABB can assist in implementing recommendations.
