Increasing connectivity requires secure solutions

Developing secure software starts with a risk assessment. Our security engineers support you in performing this risk assessment and also a threat analysis, thereby facilitating proactive specification of security requirements for your product.

For this, we organise security workshops, to identify and evaluate potential threats to the components of industrial control systems (ICS). Based on the results of the workshops, we then define security objectives and requirements for ongoing project work.

Our security engineers accompany you throughout the entire development process. They examine security requirements, work with you to develop security architectures and are the central contacts for any product security-related issues and questions your team of developers may have. Relevant standards such as IEC 62443 are obviously observed here.

Would you like to make the update and boot processes of your ICS components more secure? As your development partner, we support you in implementing cyber security and cryptographic functions, in particular in embedded Secure Elements (eSE) and hardware security modules (HSM). This ensures that the ICS components you produce are protected from cyber attacks and are certifiable under IEC 62443.

achelos offers individual testing services, as well as high performance testing tools for manufacturer-independent testing of your new ICS products for security and conformity with IEC 62443, as well as individual security requirements.

achelos provides support in the following areas:

• Functional & conformity tests
• Robustness tests of security functions
• Code analysis
• Vulnerability analysis
• Penetration tests

As your competent partner, we use all the experience we have gained from collaborating with both testing centres and manufacturers on Common Criteria evaluations and other established safety standards for high-security products.

Benefit from our expertise: When performing product evaluations as per IEC 62443, achelos helps save you both time and money, as well as avoid the high costs associated with subsequent adaptations.
