Digitization and security retrofit
In order to remain competitive, industry must move with the times and digitize both processes and (infra)structures. The opportunities are manifold: manufacturing companies can increase efficiency, save costs, meet growing functional and safety challenges and develop new business models such as entire "industrial services as a service". But what if the equipment used for this cannot be networked appropriately or is inadequately equipped in terms of cyber security?

New technological possibilities are also lowering the thresholds for the digitalization of medium-sized production companies. Nevertheless, a transformation must be well planned and thought through in order to reliably reach its goal.
In the GrundschutzPlus Aktivator project, the Center for Mechatronics and Automation Technology is working with the Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems to develop an interactive platform to improve the IT security level of small and medium-sized enterprises.
The entire ecosystem of the manufacturing industry is undergoing radical change. This also has a massive impact on the management of identities. What challenges do IT managers face in this context? And how can the problems be solved in practice by implementing a modern IAM platform?
