itsa 2025 40 itsa Magazine 2025 www markttechnik de AI – both a help and a hindrance “AI is a doubleedged sword” Artificial intelligence can help detect cyberattacks and respond to them automatically but it can also be exploited by attackers for their own purposes Patrick Scholl Head of OT at Infinigate explains the role it plays in current cybersecurity strategies and how these strategies can be applied itsa Magazine What products and solutions are you presenting at itsa 2025? Patrick Scholl In general Secure Access Service Edge SASE intelligent Security Operations Centers SOCs and agentic AI will be the focus in 2025 especially in OT SASE platforms combine SD-WAN zero trust secure web gateway and cloudnative architectures to ensure secure and flexible location independent access These integrated solutions ensure that distributed teams and production environments are equally well protected even with the increasing digitalisation of OT In addition at itsa 2025 we are presenting SOC solutions that use AIbased Security Information and Event Management SIEM Security Orchestration Automation and Responses SOAR and XDR MDR Extended Detection and Response Managed Detection and Response to automate processes reduce the growing numbers of alerts and enable faster response to security incidents These technologies significantly increase resilience and efficiency in IT and OT environments by ensuring seamless monitoring and increase the defence of complex infrastructures Where do you see the current trends and background in IT OT security? Akey trend we are currently seeing is the increasing convergence of IT and OT systems In networked production facilities energy infrastructures and critical transport networks the boundaries between traditional IT and operational control technology are becoming increasingly blurred While this opens up enormous potential for efficiency gains and digitalisation it also creates new vulnerabilities Cybercriminals are increasingly exploiting weaknesses in IT systems to gain access to OT environments where a failure or attack can cause not only data loss but also physical damage At the same time we are seeing increasingly complex targeted attacks such as ransomware which primarily target critical infrastructures KRITIS Regulatory requirements such as the NIS-2 Directive are increasing the pressure on companies to implement security measures in a holistic and standardised manner Artificial intelligence is a doubleedged sword in this context while it helps defenders detect anomalies more quickly and enables automated countermeasures attackers are also increasingly using AIpowered tools Thus much revolves around the intelligent use of AI zerotrust strategies and the integration of security architectures that securely connect and protect IT and OT How can companies remedy this situation? Companies should pursue a holistic approach to address the growing complexity and threat landscape The consistent implementation of The Infinigate stand at itsa 2024 Image Infinigate
