Cybersecurity: Combined Functional Safety and IT Security
How to Ensure Security with HIMA

With the HIMax safety controller you safeguard your plant in terms of IT security. The reason: with the HIMA controller, safety application and communication are separate from each other. This means you can operate separate networks, and cyber-safe operation of your plant is still ensured, even when the external communication is attacked. HIMax protects against undesired accesses to the automation network from the programming environment. Another advantage of this is that you can deactivate Ethernet connections that you do not use.
HIMax cybersecurity has received the Achilles Level 1 security certification, which is awarded by the independent Canadian organization Wurldtech (GE Group).
The SIS Security Check from HIMA is an on-site assessment performed by safety specialists who are trained in automation security. Experts visit your plant to conduct a basic check of your security policies and procedures. At the end of the assessment, you receive a security report with specific recommendations for improvement, forming the basis for future security risk assessments.
