This initiative addresses the growing need to safeguard industrial plants, automation systems, and critical infrastructure from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.<\/p>\n<p>Y Cyber is a strategic extension of HWG Sababa, concentrating exclusively on industrial security. Its goal is to deliver advanced, specialized solutions for high-criticality sectors such as energy, utilities, automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, transportation, logistics, and the chemical-pharmaceutical industry.<\/p>\n<p>Led by <strong>Roberto Caviglia, OT Team Leader at HWG Sababa<\/strong>, the new operational unit will offer solutions tailored to the specific needs of industrial security \u2013 supported by one of the few globally active OT SOCs and CERTs.<\/p>\n<p>The numbers are clear: according to the Clusit Report 2025, 85% of OT attacks originate from IT environments due to insufficient segregation between the two domains, while 73% of organizations experienced breaches in 2024 that impacted OT systems or hybrid IT\/OT environments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>OT systems require specific skills, services, and tailored solutions. The creation of this Business Unit is a natural step to strengthen our role in protecting industrial infrastructures and to provide vertical, customized cybersecurity services<\/em>,\u201d says <strong>Alessio Aceti, CEO of HWG Sababa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>The complexity of OT architectures demands a highly specialized approach. Y Cyber was born to address these challenges with dedicated expertise, tools, and a proactive vision<\/em>,\u201d adds <strong>Roberto Caviglia, Head of the Business Unit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>To underscore the project\u2019s significance, Y Cyber will benefit from strategic partnerships with leading OT-sector companies, including <strong>Phoenix Contact<\/strong>, <strong>Power Automation<\/strong>, and <strong>Errevi Automation<\/strong>. The company is also committed to continually expanding its network of collaborations, aiming to strengthen its market presence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>While the shift toward digital factories is now a key driver of competitiveness and market success, it is crucial not to lose sight of cybersecurity. The rapid adoption of internet-connected technologies across the industrial landscape inevitably brings increased exposure to cyber risks. At Phoenix Contact, we recognized this early on: since 2018, we have certified our secure development process with T\u00dcV in accordance with IEC62443-4-1, and we continue to release security-by-design products aligned with the IEC62443-4-2 standard. Cybersecurity, however, is not just about products \u2013 it\u2019s about a combination of processes and best practices. That\u2019s why our partnership with HWG Sababa aims to offer the market a perfect synergy of services and products, uniting two industry leaders to guide clients through a gradual adaptation to new European cybersecurity and safety regulations<\/em>,\u201d states <strong>Francesco Lanzani, President &amp; CEO of Phoenix Contact<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Among the strategic objectives of Y Cyber are the protection of critical infrastructure, the development of an integrated portfolio of services and solutions delivered through a dedicated OT Security Operations Center (SOC), and the support provided to companies in reaching compliance with the most relevant industry regulations, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hwgsababa.com\/white_paper\/direttiva-nis-2-come-cambia-la-cybersecurity-in-europa\/\">NIS2<\/a>, ISO 62443, NMR, and CRA. A key focus of the new Business Unit is also the promotion of an OT cybersecurity culture, fostered through structured training paths designed for all levels within an organization.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Y Cyber addresses three main categories of stakeholders:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Companies managing industrial plants or critical infrastructure, responsible for OT environment availability and security<\/li>\n<li>Resellers of OT technologies and services who design, integrate, and maintain industrial systems for their clients, often sharing cybersecurity responsibilities<\/li>\n<li>OT technology manufacturers producing industrial control systems, PLCs, SCADA platforms, IIoT devices, and other critical components, with the goal of embedding security into their products<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information, visit the official Y Cyber website: <a href=\"https:\/\/y-cyber.com\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/y-cyber.com<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element paragrafo\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><strong>PR agency contacts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Al\u00e9 Comunicazione<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Robert Hassan: +39.335 779 1751<br \/>\nGabriele Ferrieri: +39.342 102 1754<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text]<style> style=\"height:50px;\"<\/style><div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:50px;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row el_class=&#8221;margin_top_30&#8243;][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;paragrafo&#8221;]Milan, June 11, 2025 \u2013 HWG Sababa announces the launch of Y Cyber, a new Business Unit fully dedicated to industrial cybersecurity, with a focus on protecting critical infrastructure and Operational Technology (OT) systems.
