Joseph marie jacquard, a 19th-century french weaver and merchant, revolutionized the textile industry after introducing a single variable to his production system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the year 1804 when jacquard announced a loom that bore his name. While some dismissed the proposal as unorthodox and presumptuous, others were captivated by the novelty, as it introduced punched cards to control the weaving of complex patterns in looms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This innovation not only triggered efficiency and production in the textile industry worldwide but is also considered one of the critical pieces that inspired the birth of computer programming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connectivity and automation: inherent cybersecurity risks<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In today’s hectic industrial environment\u2014and in the face of nearshoring\u2014competitiveness, agility, and optimization go far beyond the use of punched cards. But they stem from the same rationale: a solid sense of purpose guided by innovation to make a difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the foundation and pinnacle of these attributes that accelerate business thinking and operation, cybersecurity unfolds, a definitive component in the strategy that ensures quality, operational integrity, and strategic business continuity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, transforming a company within a connected and automated industrial ecosystem entails very delicate cyber risks that must be deeply considered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional information technology (IT) solutions, focused on data and system protection, may not be suitable for the industrial environment, where the priority is to maintain the operability and safety of critical processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ikusi industrial protect approach<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The convergence of information technology and operational technology requires a cybersecurity approach that transcends traditional methods and recognizes current and future industrial demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this mindset\u2014and to secure the infrastructure of operational technologies (OT) without compromising operation\u2014Ikusi developed Ikusi industrial protect<\/a>, a suite of solutions and services designed to close any gaps in industrial environments.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ikusi industrial protect has the capability to generate mechanisms to simulate components of main systems and virtual sensors in the OT environment to identify unusual access or traffic behaviors that could impact the production line’s operation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, this solution provides full service visibility through Ikusi intelligence<\/a>, our service portal, which offers a business experience to the end user.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The integration of leading industrial cybersecurity manufacturers included in our Ikusi industrial protect solution provides inventory visibility, legacy system protection, and, combined with industrial network equipment, offers a comprehensive context of the security status of operating systems, effectively identifying vulnerabilities and risks, ensuring the infrastructure of the industrial environment against advanced threats.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, we ensure that your priority is to scale your business’s value proposition while providing new layers of intelligent industrial security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The approach to ensuring operational continuity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ensuring operational continuity in an industrial environment represents not only a business factor but also competitiveness and leadership in the sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cyberattack can freeze production, but it also has the potential to compromise employee safety and cause irreparable damage to the business’s reputation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With over 50 years of experience in knowledge development and transformation solutions<\/a>, Ikusi offers you a range of strategic components to create an industrial strategy exactly as your company requires:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
