Cybersecurity in Mechanical Engineering

Implementing the Cybersecurity requirements in practice

Cyberattacks on connected machinery are on the rise – at the same time, the EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 significantly strengthens the obligation for cyber‑resilience starting in January 2027.

This whitepaper explains the new challenges, outlines the risks affecting typical OT environments, and shows how machinery manufacturers can take a structured approach to achieve conformity.

It provides clear guidance on risk assessment, protective measures, and technical implementation – including practical, real‑world examples from the industry.
