With our broad IoT platform expertise, we will help you build your product’s digital twin and get your enterprise ready for the digital ecosystem.
While Industry 4.0 accelerates innovation, it also heightens cyber risks. Integrating IT and OT exposes OT environments and shop floor operations to evolving threats. Frequent cyber-attacks underscore the need for robust OT security to protect data and maintain business continuity. In the previous part, we introduced our 360° OT Security Framework, which offers a holistic approach to achieving cyber resilience by assessing vulnerabilities, designing tailored solutions, and mitigating risks before scaling up. This framework helps clients build secure and adaptable OT environments. In this second part of the whitepaper series, we provide practical insights on implementing the customized OT security framework. The journey from solution design and planning, through controlled testing in the Lighthouse Phase, to full-scale roll-out enables the integration of security measures without disrupting productivity. By addressing technical and cultural aspects, the framework aligns security with operational goals, ensures compliance with regulations like NIS2, and manages legacy system complexities. Clients can meet regulatory requirements and minimize disruptions by adhering to industry standards and embracing best practices like defense-in-depth and zero-trust architectures. We will guide you in turning strategy into action to achieve a resilient, zero-incident security culture.

Enterprises that embrace the kind of state-of-the-art strategies and technologies that are redefining the digital landscape – and bringing them together on a single platform that is accessible for everyone – will be best positioned to meet the challenges ahead and unleash their full potential.
We define the Internet of Things (IoT) as technology that connects devices to each other and to cloud services, in which data and configuration commands are transmitted via bidirectional links. IoT can help mechatronic systems become more efficient and user-friendly, dramatically improving access to their functions. To name just a few examples: an espresso machine can automatically notify service staff when coffee beans are running low, or an autonomous vehicle can negotiate the right of way at an intersection and find a parking space with a charging station that will transmit its availability to the cloud via an intelligent sensor.
IoT is enabling the smart city, the smart home, and the smart factory to save resources, and make logistics chains more robust and transparent, as well as facilitating digital ecosystems that make new kinds of services and customer relationships possible. At Deloitte, we work with you to develop and implement IoT-based business models from selecting suitable sensors, actuators and IoT edge devices with state-of-the-art real-time operating systems to securing cyber-secure and low-cost communication channels. Our services also include the design, implementation and operation of associated cloud and on-premises services using modern hyperscale platforms such as AWS, Azure, GCP, and IBM Cloud and contemporary agile development paradigms.
Over the past few decades, OT assets on the shop floor have evolved into integrated control units, with complex computing requirements in terms of hardware, software, and services. The increased level of system integration of OT technology, along with shadow IT on the shop floor, also leads to a high level of cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities. At the same time, IT and OT groups often have conflicting objectives and cultures, requiring a focus on organizational aspects within Industry 4.0 initiatives.
Strategy & Consulting
We create holistic OT strategies by deploying state-of-the-art technology and providing best-in-class project management methodologies. We provide end-to-end consultancy to guide you through your own managed shop floor journey.
Discovery
The main purpose of the assessment is to gain a holistic view of your plants globally. You achieve transparency by gaining an overview of global and potential security risks that were previously undetected. The newfound transparency serves as the foundation for a unified, standardized roadmap alignment and enables you to plan investments for future innovation potential.
Organization
We create the organizational framework in which your people, processes, and technologies work together to implement the defined OT strategy. A key success factor is our collaborative approach to addressing business requirements at the shop floor level while considering IT policy and governance frameworks.
Service Management
We provide tool-agnostic consulting for managing shop floor environments through the delivery of digital services. This includes the management of manufacturing assets at all perdue levels, from manufacturing robot to IT equipment and server-based systems.
Shop Floor Security
Together with our clients, we develop an appropriate OT security model from proven building blocks with appropriate processes, vendors, and a comprehensive implementation roadmap. Our main goal is to enable our clients to identify risks, detect and assess threats, and protect the operation of their assets in the event of an emergency with a profound disaster recovery plan.
Operations
We create a reliable collaboration model and service specification through up to date, maintained OTSM instances. Improving service quality goes beyond "keeping the lights on" by enabling continuous process improvement and fostering innovative capabilities.
In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, the strategic significance of infrastructure cannot be over-stated. It serves as the backbone of a digitized and productive industry, while also acting as the founda-tion for transformative technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0. At Deloitte, we empower businesses to revolutionize their IT environment and business model by guiding you in six directions on your journey to an improved and digitalized business:
The world has changed radically, especially in the last few years, and it continues to change today. To stay ahead of the curve, you need to fundamentally rethink your business models. We have identified four key areas of change that our clients typically face:
Digitalization enables new business models focused on Assets as a Service (AaaS) in the cloud, using technologies such as IoT, blockchain, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
With globalization and the increase of available technology around the world, competition is increasing, and manufacturers need to reduce their production costs to stay competitive.
Sustainability is one of the major threats facing business today, challenging us to rethink our vision for the future. Despite all its challenges, there are opportunities available for first movers or early adopters of sustainable business models. Data-driven companies are more successful in reducing their carbon footprint thanks to better insights.
In today’s world, companies are embracing new ways of working, not least as a result of the pandemic. They need to introduce changes to their business model that enable employees to do more work remotely, which may also reduce costs in the medium to long-term.
To tackle these changes, Deloitte offers comprehensive support for your digital transformation, smart manufacturing strategy and strategic excellence:
The world is changing! Be part of the change and achieve strategic excellence with Deloitte’s Smart Manufacturing Strategy.
