CRITIS

Safe. Resilient. Future-orientated - solutions for critical infrastructures.

Critical infrastructures are essential for the functioning of modern societies and are the focus of increasing security requirements. For over 140 years, STUV has been supporting operators in this area with innovative solutions that are specially tailored to the needs of the critical infrastructure sector. Our PYLOCX® systems set new standards in access control and fulfil the strictest standards, including the European Union's CER directive and the KRITIS umbrella law.

CHALLENGE

Challenges in the area of KRITIS

Securing critical infrastructures is one of the most challenging tasks in the field of security technology. Operators must ensure both physical protection and cyber security in order to protect supply systems such as energy, water, telecommunications or banks. Legal requirements such as the CER Directive and the KRITIS Umbrella Act require resilient and crisis-proof systems that function reliably even in the event of power or network outages.

SOLUTIONS

Our customised solutions

Our PYLOCX® technology was specially developed to fulfil the special requirements of the KRITIS sectors. With battery-free, robust locking components and a secure, GDPR-compliant access system with one-time codes, we offer the ideal combination of physical protection and digital control. Our products are BSI, VdS and CER-compliant and guarantee maximum resistance to external influences such as heat, cold, vandalism or network failures.

The integration of PYLOCX® with PYSUITE® softwarealso offers seamless monitoring and documentation, while PYBOX® transport boxesensure the safe transport of sensitive components such as smart meter gateways.
