Cybersecurity is the key to a successful transition to industry 4.0. Data, at the heart of the economy, is highly coveted by hackers, and industry is not spared: industrial espionage, data encryption with ransom demands (ransomware)… Manufacturers must increase the protection of their data by securing their access points and improving the cyber-resilience of their production tools to ensure business continuity.
The Fives CortX IoT solution, CortX Alchemy, connects a factory's production environment to a range of business applications and collects and analyzes the data generated in order to optimize the productivity of industrial systems and streamline their maintenance.
Aware of its customers' high expectations, Fives CortX has chosen WALLIX Inside. This additional building block, developed by WALLIX, a cybersecurity specialist, and integrated into the CortX Gateway, ensures the secure collection, use and sharing of machine data.
WALLIX Inside is integrated ?by design? into the solutions of industrial engineering specialists, thus offering their customers the full range of WALLIX access and identity security technologies.
With WALLIX Inside, manufacturers can focus on their core business, in complete security. They are able to turn the data generated by connected industrial machines into a real performance lever, while ensuring its protection. The collection and analysis of this data, carried out through the Fives CortX Gateway now embedding WALLIX Inside, enable manufacturers to optimize production costs, energy bills and site maintenance, and make work on production lines easier. With WALLIX Inside, WALLIX takes another step towards staying closer than ever to the needs of the digital transformation of the industrial sector. Factories can thus succeed in their transition to industry 4.0, in complete security. They are able to turn the data generated by connected industrial machines into a real performance lever.
?Fives offers flexible, tailor-made solutions aimed at optimizing the production and maintenance of industrial sites by leveraging field data. Artificial Intelligence is at the heart of our systems and cybersecurity is at the heart of our concerns. We therefore make sure to secure data and data flows by design. With the WALLIX Inside solution, we integrate the best technologies into our solutions to ensure a reinforced level of security between connected machines and our IoT Gateway, thus enabling our customers to step fully into industry 4.0.? explains David Zak, President of Fives CortX.
?Our collaboration with Fives CortX is part of a broader strategic partnership aimed at jointly designing solutions that are secure by design for industry 4.0, and is based on a shared vision: successful digital transformation in industry depends on trust, and therefore on security. By equipping the Fives CortX Gateway with WALLIX Inside technology, we are helping to implement connected, secure and packaged solutions that allow manufacturers to approach the shift to industry 4.0 with complete peace of mind and in compliance with data protection requirements.? says Didier Cohen, Chief Strategy Officer at WALLIX.
