Manufacturing• Founded in 2003

since 2016

AGC Glass Germany has been producing automotive glass for leading
manufacturers such as BMW, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Volvo and Opel since2003. It employs 150 staff at its site in Wegberg near Mönchengladbachin Germany. AGC is a part of the Asahi Glass Company, a world-leading
Japanese glass manufacturing group that employs more than 54,000 people
in over 30 countries around the world.
AGC Glass Germany GmbH processes automotive glass panels produced
elsewhere in the group to tailor them to its customers’ specific needs. Thiscan include adding heating or rain sensors to the glass panels, or surrounding
them with seals. The glass elements are then taken on to production lines
across the automotive industry.

Background and priorities“After 2 years ofimplementation
KICS, we recognized
Kaspersky’s customized
approach and dynamic
development of theproduct. At the sametime, Kaspersky
is valuable for thepeople – we appreciate
the effective team workand prompt feedback”.

Process stability is critical for standardized, large-batch manufacturing
like at AGC Glass Germany. A delay in production or worse, a complete
breakdown of the production lines, can incur not only cancellation
fees, but in many cases expensive contractual penalty charges, too. To
combat this, AGC uses the Industry 4.0 platform Tomorrow Connect
and its eApps to gather real-time information about process stability
and deviations from its set values.

Large amount of networked production equipment also exponentially
increases the number of weak points for cyberattacks. These can inturn cause considerable financial losses and long-lasting damage to acompany’s image.

The solution was developed by the Kaspersky partner Tomorrow Labs
in collaboration with the Fraunhofer IPA and machine manufacturers.
It collects, links and visualizes machine and ERP data from different
manufacturers and so allows information from across departments
and the company to be brought together to facilitate transparent,
autonomous production.

That is why AGC sees the importance of sufficient cybersecurity
solution. It could bring many business benefits: mitigating the risk of
disruption, securing the supply chain, be compliant to regulation andmore.
“We have chosen Kaspersky as a technological partner because it is arecognized vendor for industrial cybersecurity. Kaspersky has a deep
expertise and research, providing not only software but also threat
intelligence and vulnerability assessments,” says Jan Houben, Plant
Manager at AGC Glass Germany GmbH.

Security

Combines industrial network
monitoring with endpoint protection,
developed specifically for industrial
environments

To strengthen its security posture, AGC has chosen Kaspersky Industrial
CyberSecurity or, shortly, KICS. It is a specially designed portfolio ofsoftware products to protect industrial control systems (ICS).

Risk Management

KICS for Nodes secures ICS/SCADA servers, HMIs and engineering
workstations from the various types of cyberthreats that can result fromhuman factors, generic malware, targeted attacks or sabotage. KICS for
Networks operates at the industrial communication protocol (Modbus, IEC
stack, ISO, etc) layer, analyzing industrial traffic for anomalies via advanced
deep packet inspection (DPI) technology. It also provides asset discovery
and network map visualization.

Integrity

After 2 years since first KICS implementation, AGC decided to expend
the project for more effective functionality. AGC updated the existing
installations of KICS for Nodes and KICS for Networks to the latest
versions. Moreover, Kaspersky integrated KICS to Tomorrow Connect
provided by TomorrowLabs. That brought new useful opportunities:

Protects against contractual penalties
caused by disruption or quality
violation

Monitors the integrity of datatransmitted to operator’s dashboard,
protecting from the mostsophisticated attacks• Real-time manufacturing telemetry and cybersecurity status on plant
manager’s dashboard;• KICS guarantees telemetry is not compromised and provides endpoint
security breach and anomaly detection;• KICS detects technological process violations with DPI that helps toavoid the mistakes in production process and be sure in the productquality.

Results“The solution gives us
cybersecurity acrossall network levels
without affecting theoperational continuityof our technologicalprocesses”.
Jan Houben, Plant Managerat AGC Glass Germany GmbH

Kaspersky together with TomorrowLabs successfully updated andadapted Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity products for AGC needs.
This project allowed AGC to be fully protected and reactive, andguaranteed the integrity of data transition to Tomorrow Connect thanksto KICS. Now company is confident in its production continuity and safety,
as well as being trustful for partners from its supply chain.
“Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity is based on a modular system, so it
can be adapted to our individual requirements and specificinfrastructures”, continues Jan Houben. “The solution gives us
cybersecurity across all network levels without affecting the operational
continuity of our technological processes.”

Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity is a portfolio of technologies and services designed tosecure operational technology layers and elements of your organization - including SCADA
servers, HMIs, engineering workstations, PLCs, network connections and even engineers without impacting on operational continuity and the consistency of industrial process.
