Secure Plant Connect - The platform for secure remote maintenance and Cyber Security

Secure Plant Connect is BHS Corrugated's security infrastructure platform for secure, transparent and IT-friendly remote access to your corrugators. Protect your data, corrugators and processes with a platform that combines state-of-the-art Cyber Security technologies, regulatory compliance and ease of use.

Why Cyber Security is becoming increasingly important for the corrugated industry

Intelligent manufacturing, connected machines and the rise of data-driven services are making corrugated sheet and box plants ever more efficient and automated - but also more vulnerable to cyber threats. A single incident can cost millions - through downtime, data loss or compliance violations.

Risks of cyber threats in the corrugated industry:

  • Corrugator downtime means production stoppages and missed deadlines
  • Loss of insurance coverage is a real risk if security standards are not met
  • The trust of your end customers can be lost after a single incident

 

What is Secure Plant Connect?

Secure Plant Connect is the central remote access platform for all BHS Corrugated service and maintenance contracts. It enables secure, monitored remote connections between your corrugators and BHS Corrugated's service department - without traditional VPN technology.

Key features:

  • Secure remote maintenance & remote diagnosis
  • Complete control over all accesses
  • Future-proof architecture in accordance with NIS-2 and ISO/IEC 27001
  • IT-friendly & easy to integrate into the existing company infrastructure
