ABB’s systematic approach ensures cyber security

The global industries have steadily increased their focus on cyber security for industrial automation

and control systems. As a result,many different drivers and trends have emerged.

At ABB, we have always seen cyber security as a key requirement and are committed to provide

products, systems and services that clearly address this vital issue. On a global level, ABB

takes a systematic approach to cyber security throughout design, development and delivery of

its automation products. For instance, ABB has established an orga  nization with security

councils on corporate and division level to keep track of the global needs and requirements

concerning cyber security.

Optimal compliance

We also do our part when it comes to cyber se curity standards. ABB is an active member and driver of

industry initiatives, including active involvement in ISA, IEEE, Cyber Security Standard Committees and

IEC. Our involvement also allows the security councils to ensure that ABB products and systems

are compliant with, and support industry standards and regulations related to cyber

security. We are constantly adapting to the latest threats and testing with best inclass tools to

ensure products can meet today’s cyber security requirements.

Symphony Plus has been designed with cyber security in mind and provides stateoftheart

functionality. This allows you to easily address requirements such as NERCCIP and maintain

compliance according to these standards and beyond.
