Observatory

What is it?

At the industrial cybersecurity Observatory of ZIUR we identify and analyze the existing threats in industrial cybersecurity as well as the tools to face them.

Our objective is to help the companies of Gipuzkoa to manage the existing risks for their activity.

To do this, we have specific equipment for the industrial cybersecurity field and external specialized sources.

Continuous surveillance

Threats, vulnerabilities and risk scenarios

We maintain a process of continuous surveillance process of threats, vulnerabilities and risk scenarios on matters of industrial cybersecurity.

We contribute to detecting, preventing and spreading evidence about threats, vulnerabilities and specific risks that affect the industry of Gipuzkoa, developing experimental projects of collaboration with the sector.

Industrial cybersecurity solutions

We deploy a continued work of technological surveillance regarding industrial cybersecurity solutions available in the market.

We collaborate with wholesalers, distributors and manufacturers of industrial cybersecurity technologies in order to have a deep knowledge of the functionalities and benefits of different solutions. Likewise, at our Laboratory we experiment with said solutions to offers an appropriate counseling to the companies.

This way, we facilitate that the industrial companies of Gipuzkoa know and understand the reach of the different existing technological measures of protection.

Analysis of the data obtained

We offer a specialized service of dissemination focused on the cybersecurity necessities of the industrial sector of Gipuzkoa. In order to do this, we carry put different analysis and studies with the objective of helping the companies face the challenges and demands of the market on matters of cybersecurity.
