Endian - Secure Everything

Just replace old machines? In many production environments, that’s not a realistic option.

As a result, older operating systems, insecure protocols, and existing network connections remain part of the OT infrastructure and can become points of vulnerability.

Companies therefore need a security architecture that protects existing machines and systems without fundamentally restructuring production. Security gateways, network segmentation, firewalls, IDS/IPS, and secure remote access can provide an additional layer of protection.

Find out how existing OT environments can be secured step by step with the Endian Secure Digital Platform in our latest article.

Maintenance accounts are indispensable in manufacturing companies. As they often provide access to critical systems, they are a prime target for cybercriminals.

Systems that can be accessed by many different users are particularly vulnerable. Excessively broad permissions also pose a risk.

Read our latest article to find out where else security vulnerabilities might lurk and how to protect maintenance accounts.

Die Lebensmittelindustrie wird digitaler. Und damit angreifbarer.

Vernetzte Anlagen steigern die Effizienz. Gleichzeitig öffnen sie neue Einfallstore für Cyberangriffe. Als kritische Infrastruktur steht die Branche zusätzlich unter Druck: NIS2 und das KRITIS-Dachgesetz verlangen klare Sicherheitsmaßnahmen.

Wie lässt sich beides verbinden? Moderne Produktion und verlässliche Sicherheit?

Genau darüber haben wir im aktuellen Fachmagazin dei (Prozesstechnik für die Lebensmittelindustrie), Ausgabe 04/2026, geschrieben.

Der Artikel zeigt, wie die Endian Secure Digital Platform IT und OT gemeinsam schützt. Mit Netzwerksegmentierung, sicherem Fernzugriff und rollenbasierten Zugriffsrechten nach dem Zero-Trust-Prinzip.

Whether they’re service technicians, external service providers, or manufacturers—in a production network, many different parties need access to machines and equipment.

This comes with certain risks.

For example, if multiple people use the same access credentials, companies can quickly lose track of the activities taking place on their networks. Excessively broad access permissions have also proven to be a security vulnerability.

Companies therefore need a multi-layered security strategy to secure their OT maintenance access. Find out what matters most in our latest article.

A flat network is like an open door. Once a device is compromised, the attacker moves freely until they reach critical systems.

Microsegmentation stops this lateral movement. It splits your network into isolated zones, each with its own precise rules. If one segment is attacked, the rest stays protected.

With the Endian Secure Digital Platform, you apply this segmentation across IT and OT environments and manage it from a single interface, without disrupting operations. Microsegmentation is also the foundation for Zero Trust and a core building block for NIS2 and IEC 62443.

Cybersecurity Is Key to AI Success

Many cyberattacks begin with a user account that has more privileges than necessary.

In modern production environments, internal employees, external service providers, and service technicians all access machines and data. Without clear rules, the risk of operational errors, unintended changes, or unauthorized access increases.

This is not only a problem for cybersecurity but also for the integrity of the data that industrial AI relies on today.

The Endian Secure Digital Platform enables granular management of rights and permissions.
✅ Each user is granted access only to the systems and data relevant to their specific task.
✅ Every access attempt is uniquely authenticated.
✅ Remote access occurs via encrypted connections and can be monitored.
✅ Permissions can be revoked or adjusted in real time.

How can data for AI models be protected?

The more production facilities are connected, the more important the issue of data integrity becomes. Cybersecurity thus takes on even greater significance, as it creates the conditions for a reliable database essential to successful AI projects.

It is crucial to protect data throughout its entire journey—from collection at the machine to processing by AI. Comprehensive security measures include, among other things:
✅ secure data collection at the machine
✅ firewalls and intrusion detection/prevention
✅ network segmentation to contain attacks
✅ encrypted communication
✅ role-based access rights
✅ strong authentication
✅ edge computing to process data directly at the plant

Cybersicherheit in der Lebensmittelindustrie

Mit der Digitalisierung lässt sich die Lebensmittelproduktion effizienter gestalten. Doch mit der Vernetzung vergrößert sich gleichzeitig die Angriffsfläche für Cyberattacken.

Das Thema ist nicht nur eine Frage der IT-Sicherheit: Lebensmittelproduktion und -verarbeitung sowie bestimmte Bereiche des Vertriebs fallen in den Anwendungsbereich der NIS2-Regulierung. Damit steigen auch die Anforderungen an das Cyber-Risikomanagement.

Wie gut ist die Branche tatsächlich gegen Cyberattacken gerüstet? Und wo liegen aktuell noch die größten Schwachstellen? Mit diesen Fragen beschäftigt sich unser Artikel auf FoodTec Insider und zeigt, wie sich die Lebensmittelbranche gegen Angriffe wappnen kann.

Industrial AI is only as good as its data set

Does this statement sound obvious? In practice, however, it is still underestimated.

Today, industrial companies collect vast amounts of data—such as temperatures, vibrations, energy consumption, and production parameters. AI can recognize patterns in this data, identify anomalies, and support initiatives such as predictive maintenance or process optimization.

But what happens if the data set is inaccurate? There are plenty of potential sources of error: A miscalibrated sensor can provide incorrect measurement results, communication failures can create gaps, and cybercriminals can deliberately manipulate the data.

The result: AI makes decisions based on incorrect information.

That’s why every successful AI project starts with data quality. Complete, accurate, and trustworthy data form the foundation for robust analyses and reliable recommendations for action.

How do you ensure that your AI operates on a robust data foundation? Read our latest article on this topic: https://www.endian.com/en/resources/communication/blog/data-security-for-industrial-ai/
