Safe connectivity in expanding connected networks
Industry 4.0 and 5.0 drive smarter, more sustainable electronics through connectivity. Previously isolated embedded systems are now linked to public and private networks, enabling 24/7 monitoring, remote service, and maintenance in factories, buildings, and offices.
System integrators and operators collect, process, and share vast data volumes with customers. To counter rising threats, the EU and US have introduced resilience-focused legislation (e.g., NIS2, CRA).
Manufacturers and operators face additional challenges: remote firmware updates, secure boot, continuous authentication, and encrypted communication across IoT devices.
Strong, hardware-rooted authentication forms the essential foundation for secure operation and communication throughout the device lifecycle.
Why cybersecurity matters in industrial IoT applications
Cyberattacks on industrial IoT cause major financial losses through downtime, ransom demands, and production disruptions. SandGrain’s CyberRock embeds immutable hardware-anchored security into every network node, from gateways to the smallest sensors and edge devices.
Strengthening Legacy IT/OT Systems
IT and OT systems typically rely on perimeter defenses against external attacks. A breach leaves the entire infrastructure exposed if devices lack inherent security.
CyberRock adds hardware-rooted and software-based protection, enabling cost-effective retrofitting of existing equipment.
Securing Industry 4.0 Connectivity
Expanding networks create blind spots across gateways, control units, field devices, and sensors.
CyberRock delivers scalable authentication and intuitive lifecycle management, reducing attack surfaces without requiring deep in-house expertise.
Meeting Emerging Threats and Regulations
Rising threats and mandates like NIS2 and CRA increase compliance costs and audit demands.
CyberRock’s post-quantum-resilient platform supports Common Criteria certification, ensuring systems remain compliant and audit-ready with minimal internal resources.
The SandGrain solution: Trust at every node
Whether it’s a smart electricity meter, a connected traffic light, or a water pumping station, operators are turning to SandGrain to secure provenance, updates, and availability across distributed infrastructure.
