SINGAPORE, Nov. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Global power management company Eaton has introduced its cybersecurity

life-cycle management services for operational technology (OT) and industrial

control systems (ICS) in Asia Pacific. Based on the NIST Cybersecurity

Framework as well as established IEC and UL industry standards, Eaton's

cybersecurity services are designed to help organizations establish secure

industrial environments amidst the rise of Internet of Things.

"As infrastructure equipment becomes smarter and more interconnected, having a

complete cybersecurity program is increasingly important, especially for

regions like Asia that are experiencing rapid digitization," said Jimmy Yam,

Vice President, Electrical Sector, Eaton East Asia. "Eaton's cybersecurity

offerings provide businesses with full life-cycle management designed to secure

vulnerabilities in increasingly connected OT networks."

"With the expansion of our cybersecurity services to Asia Pacific, we aim to

work with businesses in the region to establish and strengthen their

cybersecurity programs, and ultimately keep their operations and personnel safe

from evolving cyber threats at all times," he added.

Consulting, management and training services to keep OT networks secure

A Ponemon Institute study found the average cost to a company from a malware

attack is over US$2.5 million, while another report found it takes around six

months(https://www.zdnet.com/article/businesses-take-over-six-months-to-detect-d

ata-breaches/) to detect a cybersecurity breach.

Businesses need to be alert to changes in their OT networks and continuously

update their processes to prevent operational vulnerabilities. Designed to

address the needs of organizations at different stages of ICS and OT

cybersecurity readiness, Eaton's cybersecurity services help companies ensure

no gaps appear in their cybersecurity program over time.

Initial Audit: Businesses that are new to OT cybersecurity can begin by

assessing their people, process and technology through Eaton's initial audit.

This comes with an overall Eaton fitness score and report based on industry

standards and best practices and allows clients to have a clearer understanding

of their strengths, weaknesses and areas of improvement.

Comprehensive Analysis: Eaton also offers an in-depth analysis of a company's

cybersecurity architecture, threat and vulnerability to determine their overall

level of exposure, using passive data collection techniques to minimize

operational disruption. Customers also get a prioritized list of findings with

recommendations on how to address each of the issues.

Life-Cycle Management: Eaton's life-cycle management approach offers a suite of

services to ensure a company's cybersecurity program remains comprehensive and

up-to-date with industry standards. Through recurring assessments, Eaton

ensures its customers keep pace with the evolving threat landscape. The range

of services included in Eaton's life-cycle management are:
