Rhebo and KPMG Jointly Support Security of Operational Technology

  • Rhebo and KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft announce cooperation agreement
  • Rhebo strengthens its market access through KPMG partnership
  • Collaboration extends strong KPMG portfolio with dedicated OT cybersecurity solution 

Rhebo, a Landis+Gyr company and one of Europe’s leading specialists in OT and IoT cybersecurity solutions, has entered into a partnership agreement with KPMG, one of the most renowned auditing and consulting firms. With the partnership, Rhebo proves and expands its footprint in the security market. For KPMG, the cooperation is a further step towards their goal to comprehensively support industrial companies in driving digital transformation. Customers will benefit from comprehensive visibility in their industrial automated networks (operational technology, OT) as well as an intelligent anomaly detection allowing early threat detection in OT environments. 

KPMG will integrate Rhebo Industrial Protector in its OT and IoT Lab to showcase the principle of OT monitoring and industrial anomaly detection to its customers in a real-world context. Furthermore, Rhebo’s solution will be used in KPMG assessments to identify vulnerabilities and risks in clients‘ industrial automation networks and define effective mitigation.

»Industrial processes are an integral part of digital transformation,« explains Wilhelm Dolle, Head of Cyber Security at KPMG. »Our clients are interested to know how these processes can ensure appropriate access to their control and production data whilst avoiding cybersecurity incidents that may pose security threats, process disruptions, and even downtimes – especially when IT is increasingly integrated with Operational Technology (OT). With Rhebo Industrial Protector, Rhebo offers a powerful solution for availability and cybersecurity in OT. Based on Rhebo’s offering, we can create visibility in the OT of our industrial and critical infrastructure customers and assist in creating thorough cybersecurity from IT to the OT.«

»We are delighted to have KPMG on board, a partner with outstanding expertise and deep understanding of the integration of IT and OT,« states Rhebo COO Kristin Preßler. »Often, IT and OT domains pursue competing approaches. The extensive experience of KPMG’s cyber experts in Operational Technology, combined with the firm’s in-depth knowledge in strategy, governance and the necessary transformation processes, will  ensure that the topic of OT cybersecurity receives the necessary attention in companies.«
