Discover how Siemens Government Technologies (SGT) is helping the U.S. Federal Government build stronger defenses, disrupt more attacks, and protect the people, economy, and national security of the largest infrastructure in America.
As millions of operational technology (OT) devices – the hardware and software that directly control physical systems within military installations, federal facilities, and power plants – are increasingly coming online and connecting to IT networks, the risk of a cyberattack is no longer a matter of "if," but "when."
There were 2,365 cyberattacks in 2023 with 343,338,694 victims.1
2023 saw a 72% increase in data breaches since 2021, which held the all-time previous record.1
A data Breach costs $4.45 million on average1

SIBERprotect brings the SOAR (Security, Orchestration, Automation, Response) concept to cyber-physical systems with an OT-friendly and OT-managed methodology helping to protect critical infrastructure and OT systems in various industrial locations, including power plants, water treatment facilities, all types of discrete manufacturing enterprises, military depots, data centers and control stations.
Responds in milliseconds to an attack at machine speed, securely placing OT devices into a safe state, isolated or quarantined.
Works with all vendors equipment, including Facility-related Control Systems (FRCS), Industrial Control Systems (ICS), and other automation systems.
Increases cyber situational awareness to allow for proactive defense against risks.
Enhances IT cybersecurity where "IT lives" by protecting the enabling OT devices, such as power and cooling systems, datacenters, networking equipment and more.
From critical infrastructure, such as power plants, to military depots, data centers and manufacturing and repair facilities, SIBERprotect can respond to and dramatically limit the impact of a cyberattack within milliseconds at machine speeds. For federal buildings that rely on OT for comfort, safety and security, SIBERprotect is essential to the ongoing success of your mission.
In a power plant, SIBERprotect issues an interlock signal to the protective relays and circuit breakers to prevent malware from attempting to operate them over the network. The plant can use local control of relays and breakers via secure front panel controls to return them to normal operation after site personnel are confident the attack has been thwarted.
At a military deport or installation, following the detection of a cyberattack, SIBERprotect uses OT to activate firewall rulesets in security devices using digital outputs, or, can manage legacy networks by controlling the power to network devices. The system can then perform emergency response actions to bolster facility defenses, ensure continued operations, and expedite remediation.
In a drydock doing work on a nuclear-powered ship, SIBERprotect immediately quarantines critical systems and simultaneously starts up isolated emergency cooling systems and their associated emergency pumps, alerting production and security personnel of an attempted breach.
Inside a ship entering a busy harbor, SIBERprotect immediately puts critical systems into a safe, protected state, avoiding malicious or harmful commands from compromised equipment or software.
In data centers, in the event of an attack, SIBERprotect is alerted to IT threats and can safely keep the OT side isolated from the site’s IT network to prevent its spread to OT systems, ensuring cooling, power, and facility security systems operate optimally. As configured, it can activate back power systems and send status updates to facility and security personnel.
At a manufacturing facility or production plant, SIBERprotect detects attempts to introduce a configuration change that could impact product quality or functionality and immediately brings critical production line equipment into a safe, protected state while simultaneously alerting production and security personnel, aiding in preventing unvalidated products from entering the supply chain.
