Infineon demonstrates how it supports secure Industry 4.0

The company’s security chips improve system integrity and data security in networked production. In collaboration with partner companies, Infineon demonstrates security solutions ‘Made in Germany’ that better protect networked production within a single site or within a fab network across various locations.

Working with the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied and Integrated Security (AISEC), Infineon has developed a solution that protects PLC -based industrial automation systems from unauthorised access and manipulation due to malware or incorrect software updates, the last being an aspect that will gain importance as remote services for industrial facilities grow more common. Fraunhofer AISEC and Infineon are exhibiting their solution in hall 8 at booth D08 of the German Engineering Association VDMA.

Secured end-to-end communication between various sites in a production network is being presented in hall 8 by Deutsche Telekom at booth F19, and by Wibu-Systems at booth D05. This security solution was co-developed by Deutsche Telekom, Hirschmann, Infineon and Wibu-Systems, and was first demonstrated at the German IT Summit 2014.
