Secure IT Infrastructures in Critical Infrastructure Organizations Whether for the energy and water supply or in the health sector: the functionality of many of the systems on which the population relies in daily life run digitally. This ensures fast communication but also makes the systems the target of cyber attacks. Operators of critical infrastructure therefore need to verify in accordance with § 8a BSIG that their IT security is state of the art and is, therefore, optimally protected. Above all, precise monitoring of the connections between internal and external communication networks is essential here. The products from genua ensure a secure IT landscape in critical infrastructures by, among other things, protecting data against unauthorized access by means of unique firewalls. Our IT security applications, which are produced exclusively in Germany, are certified with Common Criteria (CC) EAL 4+.
