Industrial Security
tci meets these challenges with a clear strategy:
Security by Design

Security by Design
Whether Industry 4.0, networked building technology or industrial control technology - the digitalization of almost all value chains brings greater efficiency, but also new risks. Cyberattacks, manipulation or unauthorized access are real threats to the operation and availability of your systems and data.
tci meets these challenges with a clear strategy: security by design. Right from the start, we develop our systems with a focus on maximum security in a networked environment. At tci, you receive reliable, long-term available and tamper-proof solutions for your applications in industry and building technology.
From the network to control technology:
Security at all levels
While industrial security was previously limited to network technology such as firewalls, routers and gateways, the focus today is also on the user hardware itself. This is because attacks do not end at the edge of the network - the actual target is active components such as controllers, operating units, touch panels and industrial computers.
tci provides security to the component level: our systems are protected themselves - by a secure hardware base, secure software and robust update processes.

Security by Design bei tci – our principles
Our security architecture is based on established principles and standards
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
Protects cryptographic keys and ensures the integrity of hardware and software.
Secure Boot
Only signed system images are accepted - manipulation during the start-up process is reliably prevented.
Read-only Root-Filesystem
Protects the system from unwanted changes and malware.
Long-term availability and modularity
Hardware for continuous operation, software with a long-term maintenance strategy, also with centralized, secure device management.
Robust Linux system (Yocto-based)
Minimalist, robust, long-term availability and updatable - with a minimal attack surface. Independent of the update policy of external providers.
Cloud-based, verified updates
Encrypted, signed software updates - secure even with decentralized use.
Role-based access control
Only authorized users are granted access to security-relevant system functions.
Our systems are developed in accordance with the recommendations of the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and internationally established standards such as IEC 62443 and ISO 27001.
What you get out of it
Our integrated security architecture brings you tangible benefits:
- Minimized risk thanks to protection mechanisms integrated in the system
- High availability thanks to robust, tamper-proof devices
- Future-proof thanks to maintenance-free hardware and long-term available software
- Compliance support for audits and regulatory requirements
- Cost efficiency thanks to secure updates and reduced maintenance costs
In short: With systems from tci, you not only build your machines and systems to be functional, but also future-proof and resilient.


Expertise in implementation - together with strong partners
We work with specialized partners such as hexdev.de to implement our security architecture. This collaboration brings additional expertise in secure software architecture, TPM integration and cloud-based update management. The result: a holistically secure system solution from hardware to remote maintenance.
Rely on security with a system
Cybersecurity is not an additional feature for us - it is an integral part of our development philosophy. If you want to make your systems secure, maintainable and future-proof, contact us. Our experts will be happy to advise you.
