Git Security Award: 2BSecure honoured

Readers voted the SCHLEGEL protection system into second place

The electrical engineering specialist took the second place in the Git Security Award competition with its 2BSecure protection system. The award was presented at the SPS trade fair. 

Since 2005, GIT SICHERHEIT has honoured pioneering products, systems and services every year. The award recognises innovation, cost-effectiveness and practical relevance. Finalists are nominated by an independent jury and winners are determined by public vote. SCHLEGEL was nominated by the jury in the machine and plant safety category for its system for protecting open interfaces.

Unprotected interfaces on machines and systems pose a significant security risk. They can become a gateway for malware or data manipulation. The 2BSecure system from SCHLEGEL prevents this by deactivating interfaces by default. Access is reserved exclusively for authorised persons, who activate the interface using a key switch or RFID. Only then is data transmission possible. This access restriction protects the machine control system and sensitive data within the entire network. 

2BSecure is a flexible, easy-to-install black box solution installed between the interface and the end device. It is usually installed inside the machine, where it is well protected. The interfaces meet the standard requirements for USB-A, USB-C and Ethernet. The black box's dimensions are very compact at 50 x 60 x 17 mm. 

2BSecure can easily be integrated into existing machinery and IT infrastructures. The black box is controlled by the end device itself, guaranteeing seamless implementation. It can also be adapted to different requirements and areas of application. By controlling open interfaces, 2BSecure helps meet the requirements of the new EU Machinery Regulation 2027 and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). 

Product manager Torsten Singer and sales manager Wolfgang Zoll accepted the award at the SPS. “We are delighted about the selection and the award,” they emphasised at the ceremony.
