Industrial Sector

Chemical

Chemical processing facilities operate in an environment where cyber and physical safety are inseparable. Manipulating control system parameters for processes involving hazardous materials can lead directly to safety incidents, explosions, or toxic releases. Security controls must never compromise safety system integrity.

Key Challenges

Cybersecurity Challenges in This Sector

Safety Instrumented Systems requiring absolute protection from network-borne threats
Process parameter manipulation as a vector for physical safety incidents
Regulatory safety and security convergence requirements
Vendor lock-in on proprietary control platforms limiting security options
Balancing security controls with fail-safe operational requirements
Our Approach

How Beacon Security Works in Chemical

Our chemical sector work places particular emphasis on protecting Safety Instrumented Systems from compromise, ensuring that security controls do not interfere with safety functions, and applying IEC 62443 security levels to define appropriate protection for safety-critical systems.
