It is paramount for critical infrastructure to maintain highly secure systems because any disruption, whether from natural disaster, human error, or, increasingly, malicious cyber-attacks, can have cascading and devastating effects. A secure system ensures the continuity of essential services, protects sensitive operational data, and prevents unauthorised access that could lead to service shutdowns, environmental damage, or loss of life. In an interconnected world, the resilience and security of critical infrastructure are non-negotiable foundations for national and global stability.
Critical infrastructure operators must ensure absolute service continuity while modernising their systems and defending against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
Our cybersecurity experts have consolidated their expertise over three decades of protecting Airbus against cyber threats, ensuring resilience and uninterrupted operation.
At Airbus Protect, our key differentiator lies in our technical performance and industry-specific expertise.
We have a team of professionals who are adept of navigating the complexities of critical infrastructure cybersecurity, offering tailored solutions that align with the evolving threat landscape.
We adhere strictly to critical infrastructure regulations, standards and best practices.
Navigate complex regulations (NIS2, ISO 27001) with robust governance frameworks. We leverage our extensive experience in regulated industrial settings to help you anticipate requirements and align security with your business goals, reducing overall complexity.
Ensure operational safety for interconnected industrial systems. We reduce complexity by implementing modular mitigation measures specifically tailored for critical infrastructures and workshops, protecting your assets against cyber-attacks.
Protect critical assets 24/7 with our Identify, Protect, Detect, and React framework. We combine Managed Detection & Response (MDR) with Darknet monitoring to anticipate threats, providing immediate support via our 24/7 Emergency Hotline.
Secure your modernisation projects from the first drawing to entry-into-service. We provide expert design and analysis for IT, OT, and Product systems, embedding in-depth defence principles and regulatory compliance into your architecture.
Anticipate attacks with realistic simulations that test your detection capabilities under secret conditions. Our senior teams identify vulnerabilities and provide deep technical remediation support to strengthen your overall defence posture.
Safeguard your ``license to operate`` with actionable Business Continuity Plans. We prepare your organisation to withstand disruptions through comprehensive exercises, including ``serious games`` and simulations, ensuring swift recovery during crises.
Critical infrastructure operators face a dual challenge: maintaining absolute service continuity while rapidly transitioning to net-zero and adapting to a changing climate. We bring our deep engineering heritage to help you secure your license to operate, de-risk your energy transition, and build long-term resilience.
We help you interpret evolving regulations and build a robust governance framework. We align compliance with business goals to secure your ``license to operate`` and protect your reputation.
We leverage advanced modelling to master hazardous phenomena (fire, explosions, toxic dispersion). We identify vulnerabilities to prevent accidents and ensure the physical resilience of your assets.
Whether integrating hydrogen, renewables, or nuclear, we de-risk your transition. We provide safety engineering for new fuels, ensuring the shift to low-carbon energy is safe and operationally viable.
We build a concrete decarbonisation roadmap. Crucially, we assess the physical risks of climate change on your assets, implementing adaptation plans to ensure service continuity in extreme weather.
We apply eco-design and LCA from design to decommissioning. We help you optimise material use, extend asset life, and integrate circular economy principles to reduce costs.
We secure operations by managing hazardous substances (REACH, POPs). We qualify materials and special processes to ensure safety standards, preventing obsolescence and ensuring reliability.
We support the transition to Industry 4.0. We ensure that new processes from automation to advanced energy storage are safe by design, guaranteeing operational continuity.

As we’ve seen before[*], encryption is a protection means rather than a security objective. Strong of that knowledge, we have clearly defined who should have access to our data, and who should not. Is encryption a good solution, then? Security attributes are often summed in three, sometimes four, basic properties that we may need to […]
This technical white paper is an operational guide to implement a multi-client Site-to-Site VPN infrastructure using OpenVPN, a solution renowned for its flexibility and robustness.
Our alliance is the only one to have been awarded across all three lots of this new EU procurement instrument to strengthen the cybersecurity preparedness and resilience of European Union entities. This places us at the forefront of one of the largest and most critical cybersecurity framework contracts of its kind in the European Union. [...]
