360Quadrants Recognizes ABB as a Visionary Leader in Industrial Control Systems Security Solutions for Energy & Utilities

360Quadrants, the world’s only comparison platform that combines expert analysis with crowdsourced reviews, has released a quadrant on industrial control systems security solutions for energy & utilities to help businesses make quicker and more informed decisions.

Industrial Control Systems Security (ICS security) is defined as the ability of organizations to secure their automation processes and related critical information from cyber intrusions for uninterrupted and sustained the productivity of utilities, grids, transportation systems, and manufacturing plants. Industrial control systems cover various types of control systems such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Distributed Control System (DCS), and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) to remotely manage critical industrial infrastructure from a central control room. The need to secure systems from advanced persistent threats is prompting various security solution providers to customize their offerings according to industry demand.

For this quadrant, the components of industrial control systems security are mainly segmented into solution, service, type, security type, and vertical.

ABB has been identified as a visionary leader in the industrial control systems security solutions space given its extensive product features, high product quality, reliability, suitable channel strategy, and wide geographical footprint. 360Quadrants also lists competitors of ABB in the industrial control systems security solutions space.

Industrial control systems security solution offerings from ABB aims to deliver valuable insights and intelligence from data. The company has an established product portfolio with a robust market presence and business strategy. Some of the major developments of the company in the industrial control systems security solutions space include: 

ABB launched a new ABB Ability™ solution for fault management and network reconfiguration
