收購將擴大羅克韋爾的網絡安全產品范圍，增強客戶運營的韌性和安全性
MILWAUKEE, OCTOBER 23, 2023 -- Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Verve Industrial Protection, a cybersecurity software and services company that focuses specifically on industrial environments, expanding the offeringsof Rockwell with an industry-leading asset inventory system and vulnerability management solution.
2023年10月23日，密爾沃基——*大的致力于工業自動化和數字化轉型的公司羅克韋爾自動化今天宣布，已簽署最終協議收購Verve工業保護公司，這是一家專注于工業環境的網絡安全軟件和服務公司，其業界領的資產庫存系統和漏洞管理解決方案將擴大羅克韋爾的產品范圍。
A recent Rockwell Automation report found that operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS) attacks are on the rise, with 60% of the incidents studied resulting in operational disruption. As companies continually add hardware and software alongside legacy equipment in plants, many organizations struggle to manage and protect these assets across an expanded attack surface, increasing the potential for cyberattacks. Meanwhile, the industry is plagued with significant resource and talent shortages needed to implement and manage operational technology (OT) cybersecurity programs. The Verve Security Center platform enables real-time asset inventory, vulnerability management, and risk remediation that will strengthen Rockwell’s current offerings and address these issues.
羅克韋爾自動化最近的一份報告發現，運營技術（OT）和工業控制系統（ICS）攻擊呈上升趨勢，所研究的事件中有60%造成了運營中斷。隨著企業在工廠中不斷增加硬件和軟件以及傳統設備，許多組織都在努力管理和保護這些資產，以應對不斷擴大的攻擊面，從而增加了網絡攻擊的可能性。與此同時，實施和管理運營技術網絡安全計劃所需的資源和人才嚴重短缺，困擾著整個行業。Verve Security Center平臺可實現實時資產清查、漏洞管理和風險修復，這將加強羅克韋爾的現有產品并解決這些問題。
The Verve Security Center platform was built to provide IT-level security while addressing the unique challenges of the OT environment. At the center of the Verve platform is an asset inventory system that recognizes all industrial assets, regardless of manufacturer. Verve’s proprietary approach communicates directly with the assets, gathering critical information without impacting network performance and interrupting production. It then aggregates a wide range of data sources, including Rockwell’s partner technologies, into its platform as a “single pane of glass" that provides actionable insight for customers to quickly address their highest risk assets.
Verve Security Center平臺旨在提供IT級別的安全性，同時應對OT環境的獨挑戰。Verve平臺的核心是一個資產庫存系統，可識別所有工業資產，無論其制造商是誰。Verve的專有方法直接與資產通信，在不影響網絡性能和中斷生產的情況下收集關鍵信息。然后，它將廣泛的數據源（包括羅克韋爾的合作伙伴技術）匯總到其平臺上，作為 "單一窗口"，為客戶提供可操作的洞察力，以快速處理其風險最高的資產。
Verve professional services also provide ongoing remediation, along with strategic roadmap and business case development, further deepening Rockwell’s cybersecurity consulting capabilities. Going forward, customers will benefit from comprehensive capabilities that span the entire attack continuum with the combined expertise of Verve, Rockwell, and Rockwell’s technology partnerships.
Verve專業服務還提供持續的補救措施，以及戰略路線圖和業務案例開發，進一步深化了羅克韋爾的網絡安全咨詢能力。展望未來，客戶將受益于Verve、羅克韋爾及其技術合作伙伴的綜合專業能力，這些能力涵蓋了整個攻擊過程。
The acquisition is subject to customary approvals and is expected to close in the first quarter of Rockwell’s fiscal year 2024. At close, Verve will report into Rockwell’s Lifecycle Services operating segment.
此次收購尚需獲得慣例批準，預計將在羅克韋爾2024財年第一季度完成。收購完成后，Verve將隸屬于羅克韋爾生命周期服務運營部門。
