The partnership between IMA Group led by Applied S.r.l. and Terafence was recently announced at “Sensing Future Days,” an online event featuring advanced technology insights, revealing latest innovations, and showcasing a range of solutions for the packaging and processing industry. More than 30 live expert sessions took place during this event on innovation, sustainability, and digital solutions.
“Cyber security is very important in the advanced manufacturing sector,” says Huber. “We’re very excited to partner with IMA Group to provide them with cost-effective solutions for all their cyber security needs.” IMA Group manufactures equipment in 38 production plants, and has a worldwide sales network covering about 80 countries. They have 45 production plants in Italy, Germany, France, Switzerland, Spain, the UK, the USA, India, Malaysia, China, and Argentina.
Terafence
is based in Israel and has developed a proprietary cyber security solution with an advanced microchip and firmware which isolates IoT and NoT (Network of IoT) devices while maintaining uninterrupted data flow and control. This type of solution for protecting IoT devices has become critical as more cyber threats are being launched through poorly protected IoT assets like edge-based IP cameras. “Companies who are adopting cyber security technologies understand that the data they’re transmitting from their machines to the cloud needs to be transmitted in the most secured way possible,” said Huber.
