Functional and Cybersecurity Engineering


In today’s increasingly digital world, system security must be addressed with a holistic approach, particularly in the automotive and energy sectors, which are critical to human life and operational continuity. This holistic approach encompasses both Functional Safety, which protects against failures in control systems in vehicles (electromobility) and industrial facilities, and Cyber Security, which protects these systems against malicious cyber attacks. By combining these two critical areas, SWL offers integrated engineering services tailored to these sectors to support its customers in successfully completing their type approval and certification processes, ensuring business continuity, providing the highest level of life and property safety, and increasing operational efficiency.

Functional Safety


As SWL, we focus on preventing unacceptable risks that may arise in the event of system malfunctions in complex structures such as energy production facilities, distribution networks, and automotive systems. Our functional safety services aim to proactively identify potential hazards and prevent harm to people, the environment, or the facility. Our goal is to analyze the risks in your projects in accordance with industry-specific international standards (IEC 61508-ISO 26262 – Automotive, IEC 61511 – Process Industry, etc.), reduce them to acceptable levels, and ensure the safe continuity of your operations, thereby laying the foundation for your type approval and certification preparation processes.

Cybersecurity


Functional safety protects systems against failure, while cybersecurity protects these systems against intentional digital threats. At SWL, we focus on the unique cybersecurity needs of operational technologies (OT) in the energy and automotive sectors, designing layered security solutions to protect these infrastructures from potential threats:

  • Power Plants and Distribution Networks: We offer solutions to prevent critical infrastructure such as Industrial Control Systems (ICS), SCADA, and DCS from being disrupted or dangerously manipulated due to cyberattacks. Our goal is to contribute to ensuring the continuity of energy production and distribution and network stability.
  • Power Plants and Distribution Networks: We offer solutions to prevent critical infrastructure such as Industrial Control Systems (ICS), SCADA, and DCS from being disrupted or dangerously manipulated due to cyberattacks. Our goal is to contribute to ensuring the continuity of energy production and distribution and network stability.
  • Autonomous Driving Technologies: We contribute to protecting the data of sensors (LiDAR, radar, camera), which are the backbone of autonomous systems, from spoofing, the manipulation of AI-based decision-making algorithms, and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication against cyber threats. These features represent the highest level of security required for smart transportation.

With our deep expertise in both IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology), we offer a comprehensive and proactive security approach tailored to these sectors.

Proactive Protection


We aim to stay one step ahead in functional and cybersecurity. Our proactive protection approach focuses on systematically identifying and managing potential cyber threats before they turn into an incident that affects your critical operations and products.

Using this engineering-based methodology, we examine the digital DNA of all your assets, from industrial control systems (ICS) in the energy sector to production and vehicle technologies (OT) in the automotive industry. By analyzing the vulnerabilities and operating conditions specific to your facilities and products, we develop security solutions that are not only effective but also integrated into your business processes, sustainable, and manageable.

Industry-Focused Approach


Industrial control systems (ICS/OT) have fundamentally different priorities than traditional information technology (IT). Our approach centers on the principles of “uninterrupted operation” (uptime) and “process safety,” which are the most critical requirements for your operations. Accordingly, we develop solutions that enhance the functional and cyber resilience of systems such as SCADA, DCS, and PLC without disrupting operational flow.

This approach is based on a standards-based, layered protection strategy:

  • Compliance and Standards: We base all our work on frameworks such as IEC 62443 and NIST, which are global references for industrial cybersecurity. This ensures that your facilities are protected against both functional hazards and cyber threats, making them compliant with legal requirements.
  • Deep Defense: Rather than relying on a single layer of security, we help make your facility a multi-layered, comprehensive protection shield through methods such as functional redundancy, network segmentation, and architectural analysis.
