Critical National Infrastructure

Fortifying Critical National Infrastructure's cybersecurity and sustainability
Discover more

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.

Cybersecurity solutions for CNIs

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.

Strategy & Compliance (GRC)

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.

OT & Industrial Security

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.

Managed Security Services (MSS)

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-by-Design Architecture

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.

Offensive Security & Threat Simulation

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.

Resilience & Crisis Management

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.

Sustainability solutions for CNIs

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.

Regulation, Compliance & Governance

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.

Risk Studies & Simulation

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.

Energy & Fuels

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.

Decarbonisation

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.

Ecodesign & Circularity

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.

Materials & Substances Special Processes

We secure operations by managing hazardous substances (REACH, POPs). We qualify materials and special processes to ensure safety standards, preventing obsolescence and ensuring reliability.

Future Industry & Processes

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.
