Plant Data Services
Every day, industrial plants generate more and more data.
With Plant Data Services, these data can be turned into
value – big data becomes smart data.

Assess Security, Implement Security,
and Manage Security form the basis of
Siemens’ Plant Security Services
offering. These three areas have been
augmented with additional solutions.
With Assess Security, Siemens covers
all aspects of IT security for shopfloors.
At the core, is the adherence to
relevant standards such as IEC 62443.
Siemens was the first company to
receive TÜV Süd certification based on
IEC 62443-1 for the comprehensive
development process of products in
automation and drive technology,
including industrial software, at seven
development sites in Germany. In addition,
Siemens now offers an assessment
in accordance with the international
standard IEC 62443. Using a
question-based checklist, the evaluator
assesses the security status and
compiles a comprehensive report with
recommendations to close identified
security gaps.
Implement Security offers essential
products for setting up a “Defense in
Depth” strategy. This service includes
installation of systems with the ability
to detect and prevent potential threats.
A new automation firewall provides
protection of automation systems in
line with the Simatic PCS 7 and WinCC
security concept. A preinstalled assistant,
the Industrial Wizard, facilitates
the installation and configuration of
the firewall. Additionally a web based
training hosted by Sitrain increases
industrial security awareness. In this
one-hour module, participants learn
about the risks present in industrial
automation environments and how to
mitigate them, as well as how to identify
security-relevant events.
The Manage Security portfolio provides
comprehensive security through
monitoring and pro-active protection
to close gaps with continuous updates,
identify and handle security incidents
and adapt early to evolving threat scenarios.
This service relies on Siemens’
Cyber Security Operation Centers
(CSOCs) in Europe and the United
States, which monitor potential threats
worldwide in order to provides warnings
and alarms at an early stage. With
the new Remote Incident Handling,
security-relevant events can also be
analyzed remotely. It consists of the
analyse of available system data. In
case an indicator of compromise is
detected an investigation is performed
to find the root cause by gathering
forensic information and performing
cyber security investigations. If
