Digital transformation is causing safety and security to become increasingly intertwined. Machines and systems in production must run safely and with as few failures as possible for employees and the raw materials and operating materials being processed. At the same time, networked production facilities must be protected against external hacker attacks. Cyber security is the keyword in this context. Production facilities must also be equipped to withstand physical attacks. Access control and security technology have become indispensable in this area. The B2B trade medium for safety and security addresses these issues.
