In 2025, connected objects (IoT) and interconnected systems have taken over the world of Industry 4.0, and with them the growing importance of cybersecurity. One of the challenges facing this sector is the increase in the surface area and types of cyber attack. These risks are linked in particular to the interconnection of industrial systems. As a result, critical infrastructures are increasingly exposed to this kind of threat. Faced with this reality, it is essential to adopt effective strategies to protect systems and information. Increased connectivity between industrial systems and external networks represents a growing attack surface for the world of Industry 4.0. This digitalisation of processes and integration of data in real time represents a step towards the digital transformation of businesses. But it also means growing exposure to external threats. Some SCADA platforms are particularly exposed. As a result, critical infrastructures are increasingly vulnerable to these new risks. There has been a sharp increase in cyber attacks on industrial sites. The most frequent intrusions are as follows: In order to secure sensitive sites, it is essential to adopt a Security by Design approach. This means integrating cyber security right from the design stage of industrial systems, and getting the IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology) teams to work together. It is also important to segment networks into several sub-networks to limit the spread of any cyber-attack. The implementation of advanced SCADA software solutions is therefore strongly recommended. SCADA platforms can play a vital role in detecting anomalies. They monitor industrial processes in real time to identify any unusual activity that might suggest a cyber threat. In fact, Panorama E2 enables real-time monitoring of industrial processes, making it easier to detect suspicious activity. A tool like Panorama E2 SCADA software helps to secure critical infrastructures. It provides real-time SCADA of installations and equipment, as well as centralised data for improved traceability. All this with a view to ensuring continuous monitoring to identify abnormal behaviour that could signal an attack.Cybersecurity and the threats of a hyperconnected world

The role of industrial SCADA solutions in cybersecurity
Panorama Suite can also centralise feeds from third-party systems such as cameras, sensors or alarms. This provides a global view of installations via a single interface, coordinating alerts and ensuring consistent prioritisation of incidents.
It is essential that video protection systems keep pace with technological developments and new regulations. Panorama Suite ensures compatibility with technological innovations such as IoT systems and intelligent cameras. When it comes to regulations, Panorama Suite guarantees absolute compliance with standards on the management of sensitive data.
CCTV plays a key role in protecting critical infrastructures. As part of a centralised, secure SCADA system, any structure equipped with this technology will be armed to deal with the various threats. With continuous monitoring, rapid detection of anomalies and deterrence of malicious behaviour, maximum protection is guaranteed. Finally, by integrating tools such as Panorama Suite, it will be possible to ensure optimum management of alerts and strengthen the cybersecurity of critical infrastructures. By guaranteeing proactive monitoring tailored to the requirements of the most sensitive environments, you’ll be able to ensure security that meets the challenges of today.
