HOUSTON, TEXAS - Siemens and TÜV SÜD have come together to address the growing risk of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure by collaborating to provide digital safety and security assessments, as well as industrial vulnerability assessments to help global energy customers identify asset risk and cybersecurity solutions.

Under this partnership, TÜV SÜD will offer digital assessments that incorporate Siemens as a provider of cybersecurity vulnerability assessments across the entire cyber asset management lifecycle, Siemens announced in a press release.

The digital assessments will not be limited to customers using products and technologies manufactured and supplied by Siemens.

"This is about reducing risk," says Leo Simonovich, Vice President and Global Head for Industrial Cyber and Digital Security at Siemens. "Together, we will redefine an approach that will lead to reduction in the growing risks in the digital world, reducing risk in the physical world as well. Combining safety and security to address the human element - and strengthen trust - will provide an unprecedented view into risk," says Simonovich.
