ABB Symphony Plus gives you peace of mind

Symphony Plus gives you peace of mind

Peace of mind tends to come when you have less to worry about. And that is a fact when you oper

ate Symphony Plus. It is reassuring to know you have done all you can to protect your company’s

knowhow, ideas and operations.

ABB is engaged with the wider ICSCybersecurity community which includes security researchers

and analysts. There is an open channel of communication with the community and customer base

regarding cyber security issues. This may entail working with third parties specialized in security

assessment and penetration testing of ICS technologies. When a potential vulnerability is identi

fied or reported, ABB immediately initiates our vulnerability handling process. The goal is to pro

vide customers with advise for workarounds or mitigation strategies that minimize the potential

risk of a vulnerability as much as possible. These findings are then addressed by product develop

ment and made available to improve overall prod uct cyber security.

Occasionally these activities result in the need to publish an external Cybersecurity Advisory which

demonstrates part of ABB’s commitment to the user community in support of this critical topic.

Responsible disclosure is an important element in the chain of trust we work to maintain with our

many customers. The release of an Advisory provides timely information which is essential to help

ensure our customers are fully informed. Cybersecurity Advisories which are released can be

found on our public facing website here.
