Introduction to SINEC Security Guard

What is SINEC Security Guard?

SINEC Security Guard detects vulnerabilities in your plant and (optionally) security events that indicate possible cybersecurity attacks against your plant network.

What does it do?

SINEC Security Guard compares available vulnerability information with the assets used in your plant's inventory and their configuration.

In doing so, it filters unnecessary information so that, for example, only information about vulnerabilities on assets that are included in your inventory is displayed.

Even physically identical assets can be affected by different vulnerabilities if they differ in the installed firmware version or their configuration.

SINEC Security Guard matches the firmware versions installed on assets with information about vulnerabilities: Only vulnerabilities that are relevant to the currently installed firmware version are displayed. Vulnerabilities that the already installed firmware version prevents are automatically hidden. An optional attack sensor of the integrated intrusion detection system detects and displays known patterns of security events in the network, which indicate possible cybersecurity attacks.
