With data security critical for many of Kontron’s customers the SecureOS can safeguard IoT solutions against remote control by intruders, hackers, or surveillance by third parties.
Kontron is broadening its products and solutions mix and has started marketing its new SecureOS software solution against any remote interference in infrastructure projects. It safeguards IoT solutions against new threats from the internet and hostile infrastructure attacks. It can be combined with most of Kontrons product platforms and further expands the susietec toolset family. This solution will not only significantly increase security standards but also cut down OPEX by at least 15%.
According to Kontron a global supplier with an international service network for industrial and municipal plant operators will soon introduce SecureOS, which along with further susietec toolset functionalities will support the critical water as well as wastewater infrastructure of millions of people in Central Europe.
In this case, SecureOS provides detailed insights into the operating status of the pumps and guarantees continuous monitoring during operation while safeguarding against intruders and surveillance from third parties. Smart additional functions such as automated emergency shutdowns prevent pumps from being damaged or destroyed.
For Kontron, Secure OS and susietec comprise the company’s fast-growing business segment “Software + Solutions” and while it currently accounts for 20% of Kontron’s revenues it is expected to become its biggest segment by 2025 and will have a revenue share of more than 50% by 2027.
The company’s susietec toolset family consists of 10 specialised software and 9 hardware products, ranging from EquipmentCloud which supports predictive maintenance and machine learning to the newly launched SecureOS which guarantees that embedded hardware devices in the field are secure and up to date.
All these products are able to communicate seamlessly with each other, and customers can add as many products as needed or as few as required.
