EVENT PREVIEW
PROCESS SECURITY A HIGHLIGHT AT ACHEMA A
chema 2021 will take place 14-18 June, 2021 at Frankfurt Am Main, Germany. Product and process security will be one of the focal topics, as the Internet of Things calls for an intensified approach to secure the interaction between the physical and the virtual worlds. Has your company already been hacked? If not, you should expect the attack. According to IT experts, there are only these two states and all you can do is to prepare well.
This may seem like a gloomy attitude, but it is backed by impressive numbers. The latest World Economic Forum report on global risks lists cyberattacks and data fraud as two of the top five risks companies are most likely to face. While safety systems are well established and the number of accidents with personal injury is decreasing steadily, cyberattacks are becoming all the more prevalent and in the process industry, too. Lanxess, BASF, Siemens and Henkel are known to have been infected with “Winnti malware” in 2019 and even German “safety and
security” specialist Pilz couldn’t evade an attack with “ransomware”. IoT devices are increasingly becoming part of operation and production and need special attention to keep processes and products secure. With every valve that has
an IT interface and with every “intelligent” pump sending data into the cloud, IT and cybersecurity rise to the top of the list of things to be concerned about. In times of IoT, each supplier, each automation component and each person represents a potential risk. Therefore, the responsibility lies with every player along the supply chain. Achema 2021 is now putting a spotlight on these challenges. The Digital Hub in hall 12 welcomes key players in software and digitalisation to the Achema family. Another key topic is managing data in a decentralised way, which aims to make it immune against falsification. Blockchain expert Prof Philipp Sandner will elaborate about use cases in the chemical industries.

Blockchain practitioner Dr Silvio Stephan presents a real life application in the chemical industry that he claims has the power to change the whole industry. The importance of secure production processes in pharmaceutical technology is another key topic for Achema 2021. Previously, the drug packaging was protecting the contents and a brand carrier for the manufacturer; now it has developed into a data carrier and certificate of authenticity. l
