High pressure to digitise meets limited resources
Digitalisation is constantly expanding the attack surface in industry, utility networks and public authorities. More and more systems and processes are interconnected – often outside traditional, centralised security perimeters. At the same time, many organisations lack the skilled personnel, time and budget to effectively secure this growing complexity. At the same time, AI-powered attacks are changing the threat landscape: they are becoming faster, more scalable and more targeted. As a result, smaller, distributed and previously overlooked systems are increasingly coming under fire. The IT/OT edge is particularly affected: production facilities, sites and control systems are often less well protected than central infrastructures and are frequently used as entry points.
This presents a clear challenge for operators of critical infrastructure: they must detect threats early whilst ensuring operational continuity across all distributed systems.
A system-based approach from edge platform, connectivity, sensor technology, data pipeline and Managed Detection & Response
From detection to responsiveness
Modern cyber defence goes beyond transparency and detection. What matters is whether organisations can not only identify threats, but also respond quickly and effectively to distributed infrastructures. This is precisely why secunet, DCSO and Tenzir are pooling their strengths: secunet edge creates a secure on-site foundation, Tenzir ensures controlled security data flows, and DCSO handles continuous detection, assessment and response.
This creates a security model for distributed infrastructures. Operators gain visibility and the ability to act across the board without having to maintain their own security staff at every location. Security services can be provided centrally and scaled efficiently. The secunet edge platform acts as a local anchor of trust. It combines centralised control with robust on-site execution and supports analysis and response even when individual systems are impaired or compromised.
Target groups and applications
This collaboration is designed for organisations that need to protect critical processes and sensitive data in distributed environments without having to build up their own extensive security capabilities:
- Medium-sized companies with multiple sites or production facilities
- Operators of critical infrastructure (including energy, water, healthcare and transport)
- Public authorities and sovereign organisations with heightened sovereignty requirements
- Industrial companies with a growing IT/OT convergence profile
- Service providers wishing to operate standardised security services in distributed customer environments
- Organisations with many small remote sites, whose security status has hitherto been difficult to monitor centrally
The joint solution based on secunet edge is already in the field and is available immediately for further evaluation and piloting. Interested organisations can contact any of the three partners to arrange a joint needs analysis and a structured start to the pilot.
„Effective, widespread cyber defence is now a joint endeavour. The DCSO brings to this consortium something that no product can replace: operational clout, threat intelligence from a unique community, and a link to government security agencies. Together, we are the first provider to deliver this complete stack from a German source.“
„Security data must be processed where it is generated and then transferred securely and in a controlled manner to the analytics platform. This is precisely what our pipelines enable: they turn secunet edge into an intelligent data layer at the network edge and connect it securely to the SOC expertise of the DCSO.“
