Cybersecurity Solutions

soluzioni avanzate per l’automazione

SDI solutions based on the eXPert® Ecosystem are implemented by adopting, in agreement with the customer, cybersecurity policies at the application and architecture levels that take into account risk assessment. We refer to the regulations adopted in the country hosting the facility being supervised and controlled (such as ISO 27001 and the recently adopted Cyber Resilience Act in Europe, NIST in the United States and several Latin American countries, as well as any other international and local frameworks and specifications in other areas of the world).
SDI solutions are designed with a strong focus on cybersecurity and risk management.
