KPMG recognized as a leading provider of IT security
The consulting firm KPMG was recently named a "Leader" by analyst firm IDC MarketScape for its worldwide services in the field of OT (Operational Technology) security. This recognition underscores the company's important role in protecting industrial control systems from digital attacks.
The security of OT systems is of great importance to companies in Austria, as they control critical infrastructure such as power grids, water supply, and production facilities. As these systems are increasingly connected to the internet, the risk of cyberattacks is also rising. The IDC analysis evaluates not only technical expertise but also the providers' strategies for defending against complex threats.
For Austrian companies, this classification serves as an important guide when choosing security partners. At a time when the digitalization of industry—often referred to as Industry 4.0—is advancing rapidly, protection against espionage and sabotage has become a central competitive factor.
The award confirms that KPMG possesses the necessary resources and expertise to implement complex security solutions globally. This is particularly relevant for internationally active firms based in Austria that need to network their locations worldwide in a uniform and secure manner.
In summary, the assessment shows that the protection of industrial networks remains a central topic for the global economy. Companies are well-advised to invest in robust security concepts to successfully meet the challenges of the modern digital threat landscape.
