Cyber security

Cyber security is critical to the secure digitalisation of industries. The ifm group of companies offers customised products for customer-specific digitalisation strategies - from the sensor to the cloud. Always with the security of your sensitive data in mind!

For cloud-based applications, ifm relies on a strong cloud service provider. Safety-related decisions are consistently implemented, monitored and further developed. Our security concept is based on established standards to ensure a high level of security.

Shared responsibilities – moneo Cloud*

At ifm, we use the highest security standards. We make your digitalisation journey easier with our shared responsibilities model. Together with our partner, we ensure the security and operation of our software so that you can use it securely and efficiently.
