Industrial Enterprises use millions of smart instruments/devices that are connected and configured, to send/receive data over various networks to cloud applications and software systems. However, these enterprises are still struggling with vulnerabilities, with respect to data in transit or at rest, which have the potential to cause shutdown of profit-making operations, data loss, or even life-threatening physical danger. Therefore, the need to adequately secure their smart devices for capturing & analyzing data from millions of devices.

Majority of smart instruments manufacturers are adopting the traditional data security requirements of integrity, availability, and confidentiality, to solve such challenges. But what these companies must do, now, is to adopt the digital capabilities to secure their devices from the ground up and at all points in the enterprise customer’s ecosystem, in order to prevent vulnerabilities in one part from exposing the security of the whole.

At Saviant, our industrial data engineering frameworks help instruments engineering & machine manufacturers to protect smart device data to help their industrial customers in seamless continuity of business operations.

Solving data security challenges
for smart instruments and equipment manufacturers

With diverse data types among smart devices and multiple data sources, there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution that can protect the data. However, throughout the channel of data, from smart device to cloud, there are 3 areas of vulnerabilities – data in transit, data at rest and end-point access.
