W fabrykach cyberbezpieczeństwo często zależy od podwykonawców – integratorów, dostawców systemów automatyki i firm serwisowych, które mają zaskakująco szeroki dostęp do infrastruktury OT. W tej prezentacji Igor Zbyryt z BZK pokaże, jak z perspektywy końcowego użytkownika i integratora wygląda współpraca z tymi firmami oraz jakie realne ryzyka to niesie – również w kontekście NIS2. Zamiast wyliczać różnice między IT a OT, skupi się na wspólnym mianowniku i tym, co trzeba zmienić w podejściu organizacji, żeby cyber w produkcji zaczęło działać.

The system works. That’s the problem. It’s old, complex, deeply integrated, and still running your most critical operations. Everyone agrees change is needed. But no one wants to be the one who breaks it. The stakes are too high.

Cybersecurity ist längst kein reines IT-Thema mehr – sie betrifft das gesamte Unternehmen. Doch während die Bedrohungslage zunimmt, geraten viele Security-Verantwortliche an ihre Belastungsgrenzen: zwischen 24/7-Verantwortung, wachsenden Anforderungen und dem ständigen Innovationsdruck.

IT-Betrieb und Cybersicherheit stehen heute unter extremem Druck: steigende Komplexität, wachsende regulatorische Anforderungen (NIS2, DORA, KRITIS), chronische Ressourcenknappheit – und gleichzeitig eine Bedrohungslage, die keine Verzögerungen duldet. Trotzdem agieren viele IT- und Security-Teams noch immer in Silos. Die Folge: ineffiziente Abläufe, Tool-Wildwuchs, langsame Reaktion auf Vorfälle und unklare Verantwortlichkeiten.

La dette technique est comparable à la négligence des réparations d'une maison. Ignorer un toit qui fuit peut faire gagner du temps aujourd'hui, mais cela pourrait conduire à l'effondrement du plafond plus tard. Pour remédier à la dette technique, il faut trouver et réparer ces fuites dès maintenant et mettre en place un plan d'entretien de la maison afin qu'elle soit prête pour les extensions futures. Pour résoudre ces problèmes, il faut définir des priorités stratégiques, communiquer clairement avec les parties prenantes et établir une feuille de route à long terme pour la modernisation. Cet événement se déroulera entièrement en français.

Porsche Informatik deploys software rapidly with Red Hat OpenShift. Red Hat OpenShift allows the company to deploy new software more frequently and ensure availability across its connected car process, mobility as a service process, traditional retail process, apps and more. Red Hat partner Dynatrace ensures the end-to-end visibility of performance.
Porsche Informatik is part of Porsche Holdings Salzburg, the largest automotive trading company in Europe with a revenue of roughly 22 billion Euros. With 160 solutions in 32 countries on four continents, millions of users depend on its software every day. Porsche Informatik sees itself as a trendsetter and an innovation driver, with 800 specialists shaping the digitalization of the automotive trade.
Porsche Informatik’s open source strategy for tailor-made applications creates a clear competitive advantage. “Software needs cloud infrastructure to be scalable,” said Immitzer. “And with that scalability, we can ensure availability and a great end-user experience. End-user experience is one of the key success factors in the digital era.”
Moreover, one of the biggest promises that Porsche Informatik made to its customers was to reduce the time-to-market by 90%. “We need to be very fast to assemble a connected car process, a mobility as a service process, or a traditional retail process,” said Immitzer. To achieve this, Porsche Informatik decided to migrate from a monolithic environment towards a modular landscape based on containers and Kubernetes in a hybrid cloud architecture.
Porsche Informatik established a private cloud hosted by datacenter provider eww ITandTEL, utilizing Red Hat OpenShift for a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) environment. “We bet on the right horse early in deciding to implement Red Hat OpenShift, predicting that Kubernetes would become the de facto standard for Linux container development,” said Christian Köberl, Software Architect at Porsche Informatik. “Red Hat OpenShift is one of the best enterprise solutions when it comes to authorization, authentication, logging, and metrics, among other things.”
With help from eww ITandTEL and a Red Hat Technical Account Manager (TAM), the organization migrated to Red Hat OpenShift running on-premise in its datacenter in just six weeks. The platform now hosts development processes across thousands of containers on 75 nodes, used regularly by more than 350 developers. It orchestrates the end-customer applications, establishing containers so the cloud can access the surrounding systems of the legacy applications.
Porsche Informatik realized that to maintain its market lead, it also needed a fundamentally different approach to performance monitoring and management. After evaluating the market, it selected Red Hat partner Dynatrace because it offered native support for Red Hat OpenShift while providing complete visibility into every layer of the IT environment.

Embark on a culinary journey through the ever-evolving world of digital leadership with our third edition of the CIONET Cookbook: Recipes for Digital Success.
