Today, Siemens and industrial AI-firm, SparkCognition, announced a new cybersecurity solution for industrial control system endpoints.
According to a joint study conducted by the Ponemon Institute and Siemens that surveyed global energy industry executives, 67% of respondents said industrial control systems are more at risk today from cyberattack than ever before.
"DeepArmor is designed to fill what we believe to be a widening gap in cybersecurity in the energy industry," said Sridhar Sudarsan, SparkCognition's CTO, "But there is no reason why it won't work on control systems running in different environments."
Many ICSs systems and endpoints were designed and deployed long before digitization took hold in the ICS industry.
It relies on agents to monitor endpoints and AI modeling to help cybersecurity teams understand the severity of threats, as well as what impact a particular attack may have on the company's overall operations.
