At the ServiceNow World Forum in Munich, Siemens and ServiceNow announced their collaboration to enhance industrial cybersecurity and drive the integration of generative AI into shopfloor operations.
This mutual cooperation leverages Siemens’ Sinec Security Guard for industrial vulnerability management and the Siemens Industrial Copilot for generative AI‑powered automation – with ServiceNow providing the workflow automation needed to streamline and enhance factory operations.
According to a recent market analysis, the industrial cybersecurity market is expected to reach $21.6 billion by 2028, driven by increasing threats to operational technology (OT) systems and the need for more comprehensive vulnerability management. The application of generative AI in industrial settings is also predicted to grow exponentially, with companies seeking to improve operational efficiency and human‑machine collaboration.
Cathy Mauzaize, President of EMEA at ServiceNow, said: “Our collaboration with Siemens represents a pivotal step in enhancing operational technology security and harnessing the power of generative AI on the shopfloor. With Siemens’ market‑leading expertise in industrial automation and the ServiceNow platform’s ability to orchestrate and automate workflows, we are enabling our joint customers to respond to vulnerabilities and streamline operations with speed and intelligence.”
The combined strengths of Siemens and ServiceNow ensure that generative AI‑driven insights from the Siemens Industrial Copilot are directly embedded in ServiceNow workflows.
Rainer Brehm, CEO of Factory Automation at Siemens, added: “Combining the strength of Siemens Xcelerator, including Sinec Security Guard and the Siemens Industrial Copilot, with ServiceNow’s automation capabilities will help our customers make faster, smarter decisions. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in securing OT environments and bringing cutting‑edge AI technology directly to the factory floor.”
The companies are working together to help factories optimize their cybersecurity practices, enhance operational efficiency, and bring cutting‑edge AI to the heart of manufacturing processes – setting new industry standards for resilience and innovation.
