Siemens USA launches cybersecurity analytics lab to help protect operational technology
Siemens USA announced the launch of its technologically advanced cyber test range housed at its U.S. R&D headquarters in Princeton, New Jersey. The COVID-19 pandemic and the related increase in cyberattacks has highlighted the need for facilities such as this to focus on prevention, detection, and response solutions. Recently, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Security Agency (NSA) put out an alert recommending immediate actions to mitigate attacks on operational technology (OT).
The Siemens cyber test range was designed to test emerging cybersecurity technologies against real-world scenarios to help detect and mitigate potential vulnerabilities. The cyber range has set out to become a hub where data scientists, security experts, and others can come together to perform innovative research in the field of cybersecurity and rapidly prototype and validate new research ideas.
