Industrial Manufacturing

Ensuring industrial cybersecurity and manufacturing safety in a changing world

The world of manufacturing is digitalising rapidly. New, hyper-connected systems are enabling efficiency gains and enhancing visibility into operations. At the same time, manufacturers are becoming more interconnected through their supply chains and partners – and more conscious of their environmental impact.

But as organisations’ digital footprint grows, so does the complexity of their systems – which often contain a mix of cutting edge and legacy technologies. This necessitates a holistic approach to safety, security and sustainability – one that considers the rapidly changing regulatory landscape.

Enhancing operational safety in industrial manufacturing

With over three decades of relevant experience, we’re a trusted industrial manufacturing safety, security and sustainability partner.

Safety solutions for industrial manufacturing: ensuring operational excellence

For industrial players, operational reliability is paramount. We bring our aerospace heritage to your factory floor, focusing on rigorous risk management, quality control, and supply chain security to ensure your production is safe, efficient, and scalable.

Safety & RAMS

We ensure reliability. We apply advanced risk assessment methods to your critical industrial systems to prevent failures and minimise downtime.

Processes Compliance

We optimise industrial quality. We implement rigorous Quality and Safety management processes to ensure your operations remain under control as production scales.

Supply Chain & Manufacturing

We secure your equipment supply. We audit suppliers of critical industrial machinery and components to ensure they meet your strict safety and quality requirements.

Comprehensive risk management & incident response solutions for industrial manufacturing

Airbus Protect leverages unique industrial know-how and deep expertise across IT, OT, and Product systems to deliver robust, tailored security solutions. We focus on reducing complexity and ensuring regulatory compliance, allowing manufacturers to focus on their core business while maintaining cyber resilience throughout the production lifecycle.

Offensive Security & Monitoring (Security Operation Centre)

We simulate realistic, multi-vector attacks via Red Teaming to evaluate the resilience of your sensitive infrastructures. This is bolstered by 24/7 Managed Detection & Response (MDR) through our SOC to protect digital assets against sophisticated threats.

OT Systems Security Architecture

We conduct passive and active analysis to provide a comprehensive overview of your OT assets and existing vulnerabilities. Our experts then design and integrate bespoke security solutions to maintain the resilience of your interconnected industrial systems.

Governance, Risk & Compliance

We implement ISMS and risk strategies specifically contextualised for industrial architectures. This ensures the security of both digital environments and physical products while aligning with your business objectives

Resilience & Business Continuity

We design detailed Business Continuity Plans to maintain operational functions during and after a disruption. To ensure readiness, we deliver simulation exercises that test your team’s ability to manage crises like ransomware.

Sustainability solutions industrial manufacturing: driving operational resilience

We build sustainability into the core of our activities – from industrial risk management to compliance checks and crisis action plans.

Regulation, Compliance & Governance

We navigate regulations (IED, Seveso) and build governance frameworks that turn compliance into a competitive advantage.

Risk Studies & Simulation

Leveraging our high-hazard heritage, we model ATEX and Seveso risks to protect assets, maintain continuity, and prevent accidents.

Energy & Fuels

We manage the safety engineering of integrating electrification, hydrogen, or biomass into industrial processes to optimize efficiency safely.

Decarbonisation

We measure carbon footprints, design decarbonisation roadmaps, and analyse the climate resilience of supply chains and facilities.

Ecodesign & Circularity

We apply eco-design to products and processes, reducing material usage and designing for recyclability to cut costs and impact.

Materials & Substances Special Processes

We ensure compliance of hazardous substances (REACH) and qualify materials to prevent obsolescence and protect the workforce.

Future Industry & Processes

We ensure your ``Factory of the Future`` is safe by design. We manage safety engineering for cobots and automated logistics.

The Airbus Approach for Cyber Security in the Rail Sector

The rail sector is shifting to a new paradigm of digitalisation to bring in efficiencies to counter the increased demands of travelling passengers and goods transport, while ensuring the highest safety and security of the infrastructure. To achieve this goal, Rail Operators have adopted modern systems combining IT and IoT technologies. Digital transformation strategies within the Rail sector include more connectivity for Industrial Control Systems (ICS), increasing their exposure and potentially making them more vulnerable and exposed to cyber-attacks.

New technologies for maintenance

Since I was young, I have always been passionate about everything that flies and I have always wondered how machines as big and heavy as airplanes manage to fly. I then went to an engineering school in electronics and embedded systems. I did a work-study program with Renault in the Paris area. Following this experience, […]

What is Architecture & System Design?

We often hear news about critical and negative events in the life of a business. In our society, tragic events and tales of failure are more appealing than successes and the news reflects that. How many people know the latest details about COVID-19 today and how many know about the ITER project and its tremendous [...]
