AnsaldoEnergia chooses Kaspersky as strategic partner on its digital transformation path

 

AnsaldoEnergia has chosen Kaspersky as a strategic partner to secure plants, machinery

and industrial supply chainson its digital transformation journey.AnsaldoEnergiahas

begundeploying Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurityin order to reinforceprotection of its

operational technology (OT) networks from ICS threats.

AnsaldoEnergia operates in the power generation sector, developing its technologies to

support modern digitisation, decarbonisation and decentralisation processes. With more

than4,000 employees, 2,500 of which are based in Italy, it is one of the main international players in the power generation sector. Kaspersky has been anAnsaldoEnergia partner in IT

security since 2013, protecting the company’s endpoints with the most innovative

technologies, including the Kaspersky EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) reactive

component— now applied to over 5,000 distributed and centralised nodes.

 

Protecting data and equipment is becoming an increasingly wide and more strategicpriority

for AnsaldoEnergia, especially since it started an important digital transformation process a

few years ago that involved the adoption of smart devices and connected production

plants. In addition, it plans to introduce innovative processes such as predictive maintenance in the near future. The ongoing convergence between the IT and OT worlds –

everything that concerns production plants,made possible through IoT technologies and a

business model more closely connected to the supply chain – have made the issue of

information security even more complex.This approach has been addressed through the

introduction of the Cyber OT Application Area in a three year scope for the Industrial R&D

Plant, supporting the Lighthouse Plant of AnsaldoEnergia— the first one selected by the

National Technological Cluster Intelligent Factory on behalf of the Italian Ministry of

Economic Development.

AnsaldoEnergia has decided to face these challenges by relying on Kaspersky to build a safe model thanks to the companies’ common abilities to design intrinsically safe equipment and plants. Kaspersky promotes a cyber-immunity paradigm; with a philosophy to develop an ecosystem where everything connected through technology is protected.

AnsaldoEnergia has therefore chosen to implement Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurityas its OT/ICS security solution.At the end of 2019, AnsaldoEnergia started to deploy KICS for Networks and KICS for Nodes in its OT networks. These productsare designed specifically

to protect various levels of industrial infrastructure, including SCADA, DCS, PLC, MES,

engineering workstations and network connections. A distinctive feature of this solution is

 

the implementation of a holistic approach to ensure the security of industrial enterprises

and critical infrastructure. Thanks to versatile and flexible settings, the solution can be

configured as needed, adapting to the requirements of the specific ICS environment. The

approach involves not only protecting industrial endpoints, but also using passive

monitoring technologies to identify anomalies and detect possible network intrusions.

 

“We chose Kaspersky as our strategic security partner because the company can not only

give usthe expertise to protect our industrial systems and networks, but also the ability to

createtogether a valuable offering for other operators in our ecosystem,”said Luca

Manuelli, Chief Digital Officer of AnsaldoEnergia.

 

“We have been anAnsaldoEnergia strategic partner for several years and we are very proud

of being chosen again to accompany the company on itscomplexdigital transformation

journey,”said Morten Lehn, General Manager, Italy at Kaspersky.“The energy sector is

certainly a strategic one for Kaspersky and businesses operating in the sector need a

partner that is able to guarantee protection on different sides.We are ready to work with

AnsaldoEnergia to protect the continuity and integrity of the company’s technological

processes and ensure that they can achieve itsdesired objectives of greater efficiency and

competitiveness.”
