Siemens Energy Takes Next Step to Protect Critical Infrastructure
Siemens
Energy Inc, one of the world’s leading energy technology companies, announces
it is joining the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner Network (APN), a global
community of partners that leverage programs, expertise, and resources to
build, market, and sell customer offerings.
This
expanded relationship includes listing Siemens Energy’s
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) industrial cyber security
solution in AWS Marketplace, a digital catalog that makes it easy for customers
to find, compare, and immediately start using the software and services that
run on AWS. This MDR security offering in AWS Marketplace is built for energy
and utilities, by an integrated energy technology company focused across the
entire energy value chain. As energy companies strive to protect physical
infrastructure from escalating cyber threats, Siemens Energy’s MDR on AWS reduces
the cost and technical barriers to achieving strong, fast, comprehensive cyber defense.
Expanding access to
state-of-the-art cybersecurity is essential to ensuring reliable electricity
and fuel supplies. Cyber risks to infrastructure are escalating amid the
ongoing transition toward renewable and low-carbon energy sources and the
accompanying expansion of digital devices in the energy sector. Siemens
Energy’s MDR will help customers leverage analytics to secure their
infrastructure while reducing costs, improving efficacy, and reducing
emissions.
Siemens Energy’s industrial
monitoring and detection solution defends
critical infrastructure against cyberattacks, helping protect communities
around the world from supply chain disruptions. AWS’s capabilities allow MDR’s technology
to quickly collect and analyze large volumes of data to monitor for cyber
threats, giving energy sector chief information security officers (CISOs) the
power to detect and uncover attacks before they execute.
Secure cloud capabilities that can
integrate digital applications and leverage sensitive data – such as real-time
monitoring and detection – add an important and cost-effective tool to the
defensive arsenal for CISOs and industrial security analysts.
“The energy transition relies on seamlessly connecting
physical assets with digital technologies to foster innovation, reduce
emissions, and improve efficiency, but this future depends on strong
cybersecurity across the whole supply chain,” said Leo Simonovich, Vice President
and Global Head of Industrial Cyber, Siemens Energy. “Siemens Energy’s
AI-driven industrial cyber monitoring and detection platform is purpose-built
to help CISOs identify, prevent, and mitigate cyber threats to the energy
sector’s digital business model. Energy companies at every scale can now access
and integrate advanced cyber threat detection across their operating
environment, leveraging AWS’s secure cloud platform to build and defend the
foundation of a digital energy ecosystem.”
“Cloud is accelerating innovation across the energy value
chain and a key enabler to more resilient energy infrastructure,” said Jeff
Miers, Director of Partners and Alliances, Energy & Utilities Business Unit
at AWS. “With the convergence we are
seeing across operational technology (OT) and information technology, we are
excited to expand our relationship with Siemens Energy through the AWS Partner
Network to provide OT cybersecurity solutions purpose built for the energy and
utilities market.”
