Access for Authorised Persons Only

April 12, 2023

The best gate safeguard or access control is worthless if unauthorised access to your machine is possible via the network.

A holistic safety concept is required, which considers both machinery safety and industrial security. If security gaps should arise, then loss of quality and unplanned machine downtimes are two of the potential scenarios. So it’s all the more important to protect plant and machinery in such a way that only authorised personnel have access and tampering with the control systems via attacks from outside is prevented.

Pilz offers a coherent machine access concept, which takes into account not only the safety of your machine, but also its industrial security.

Live at the Hannover Messe from 17.04 – 21.04.2023

Questions relating to industrial security in automation? Then visit Pilz at their stand D17 in Hall 9. Via short presentations, discover why safety without security is no longer conceivable, and also discover which standards, requirements and measures in automation need to be considered now and in the near future.

Experts from Pilz are happy to have a one-to-one discussion and provide advice on know-how, services and training relating to safety and security.
