In today’s digital era, cybersecurity isn’t just for IT teams—it’s crucial for every industrial plant using control systems like PLCs, DCS, and SCADA. The challenge? Many organizations lack awareness or tools to manage cyber risks. That’s where LeanKia steps in.
LeanKia, your trusted platform for lean management and plant digitalization, now helps you stay cyber-secure—without adding any extra module.
Let’s explore how you can use LeanKia’s existing tools for cybersecurity.
✅ 1. Cyber Hygiene Checklists
LeanKia’s customizable checklist module can be used to create a Cyber Hygiene Checklist to monitor and improve your basic security practices:
– Change default PLC passwords
– Check for open ports or unsecured USB usage
– Ensure antivirus updates on engineering workstations
– Validate access control logs
📅 *Schedule these checklists monthly or quarterly* and assign them to your control system engineers.
📝 2. Incident Logging with e-Logbook
Use the e-logbook feature to record *cybersecurity-related incidents*, such as:
– Unauthorized access attempts
– Suspicious network traffic
– Patch update delays
– System crashes with unknown reasons
This promotes better documentation and accountability—key for post-incident analysis.
🔖 3. Red Tag for Cyber Weak Points
That old engineering laptop still running Windows 7? It’s a cyber red flag.
Use LeanKia’s *Red Tag System* to mark and track risky components:
– Unpatched systems
– Unsupported firmware versions
– Shared operator logins
Attach a tag, assign corrective action, and monitor closure directly in the app.
📌 4. Task Scheduler for Cyber Activities
Routine cybersecurity actions often get delayed. Schedule them like you do with plant tasks:
– Password changes
– System backups
– Audit preparation
– VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing)
LeanKia’s *task scheduler* ensures these don’t slip through the cracks.
💡 5. Idea Board for Cyber Innovation
Encourage your team to suggest *cybersecurity improvements* via LeanKia’s idea submission feature:
– “Let’s restrict USB ports on control room computers.”
– “Implement 2FA for remote logins.”
These small ideas can make a huge difference.
🎯 Bonus: Add a Cyber Awareness Quiz
Embed a *short quiz* on your LeanKia dashboard or notice board to educate your team. At the end, allow users to request an audit or training session directly.
📲 Final Thoughts
With LeanKia, you’re already equipped to handle daily plant operations. By simply *redefining how you use its features, you can take a big step toward **cyber resilience*—without investing in additional tools.
Cybersecurity is not optional anymore. Start using LeanKia for cybersecurity today!
