Challenges encountered

Eutomation has a competent in-house IT department but wanted to gain a clearer view of its cybersecurity posture. With increasing customer requirements, rising cyber risks in the industrial sector and the growing complexity of standards, several opportunities for improvement were identified.

Security

Lack of overall visibility on the actual level of security: what strengths are in place and where are the weaknesses?

Monitoring

Difficulty staying informed about best practices and obligations applicable to an industrial SME (NIS2, customer requirements, risk management, etc.).

Support

Need for a partner with strong cybersecurity expertise, capable of effectively supporting the internal IT team.
