Protecting controllers and connected equipment
Supermarket refrigeration units and industrial controllers are now targeted by cyberattacks. Wybot is currently developing protection dedicated to them.
The solution is currently being designed by the Wybot teams.
Attacks now aimed at machines
Many attacks have recently hit refrigeration units in several supermarkets as well as controllers running in businesses. This equipment drives the cold chain, production lines and technical installations: compromising it can be enough to halt an operation.
Connected to the network for remote supervision or maintenance, it is rarely updated and usually falls outside traditional IT protection.
Commercial refrigeration
Connected display cases and cold rooms: a takeover endangers the cold chain and stored goods.
Industrial controllers
Controllers that run machines and production lines: tampering can stop production or disrupt how it operates.
Remote access
Maintenance and supervision access open to the outside: so many potential entry points for an attacker.
What Wybot is preparing
Building on the Wybot probe, this new protection is designed for controllers and connected equipment, without disrupting how they run.
Identify
Locate the controllers and connected equipment on the network.
Monitor
Detect unusual communications from this equipment.
Alert
Notify your teams as soon as suspicious behaviour appears.
Become a pilot site
Ahead of launch, Wybot is looking for volunteer companies to run POCs (proofs of concept) and test the solution in real conditions, on their own controllers or connected refrigeration equipment.
Who can take part
Food retailers, manufacturers, technical site operators: any organisation running controllers or connected equipment.
How it works
A discussion with our teams to define the scope, followed by a supervised deployment that does not disrupt your operations.
What you gain
Early access to the solution, a clear view of your equipment's exposure and the chance to shape the product.
