"I asked Ralph Langner to speak at the ACS Control Systems Cyber Security Conference as I value him as one of the thought leaders in industrial cyber security. Ralph has substantial knowledge in industrial control systems and cyber vulnerabilities as well as having a different perspective on how to exploit those vulnerabiilities. Ralph's presentation was highly rated by attendees."
Joe Weiss, CEO

"ZF is a leading global player in the automotive industry and is presented at 119 locations in 25 countries with approximately 60,000 employees. In the world ranking of automotive suppliers, ZF ranks among the 15 largest corporations. We mainly use custom SCADA software to monitor and control our highly automated and integrated production processes that we develop in C++. Dependability and reliability of these applications that interface directly with PLCs are top priorities. For this reason we hired Langner Communications to execute a code review. The results of the Hamburg-based experts are professional, detailed, and have proven to be extremely valuable."
Tobias Kamps, Software Engineer Industrial IT
ZF Friedrichshafen AG

"The three-day training class on industrial cyber security by Langner Communications presents a solid overview of fundamental cyber threats and their consequences in process control networks, pointing out the differences to office IT. Typical vulnerabilities of automation peripherals are demonstrated live, which contributes much to raise the attendees' awareness. Best practices to protect automated industrial processes and legal constraints conclude the programme and make the training quite consistent. Collaborating with qualified consultants, it is possible to achieve a high degree of cyber security in process control networks. Summing up, a training class that really paid off."
Enrico Puppe, Manager Industrial IT Security

"Ball Packaging Europe decided to have Langner Communications assess the cyber security of our process control networks. The main reasons why we chose the Hamburg-based consultants were their vendor independence and their extensive experience with industrial automation and control systems. Their experts looked at everything from firewall rulesets via policies to OPC security settings and VLAN configurations in detail. Even more reason for us to be proud of having been attested a high security level by Langner."
Ralf Wingartz, Senior System Analyst Information Security

"For decades, the Bauer brand name stands for dairy products of highest quality. To make sure that this tradition is continued in the era of highly automated and networked production, Langner Communications was hired to perform a thorough site assessment of our automation and process control cyber security. Results were detailed, plausible, and helpful - just the way consulting ought to be!"
Markus Bauer, CEO

The the experts from Langner Communications provided substantial advice not only in respect to design, but also in implementation at source code programming level. Absolutely to be recommended!"

"Langner Communications was hired by UPM Schwedt to carry out a review of our new process control network design (plant-wide redundant fiber optics backbone, along with migration to new DCS product) and to assess the cyber security of our industrial automation and control network. Delivery was quick, reliable, and highly professional. The advice from Langner Communications helped us to optimize important aspects of the planned design. We explicitly acknowledge Langner's substantial and detailed know how in IACS - these guys know what they're talking about. "
Gotthard Hamann, Director Plant Maintenance

"Ralph Langner is clearly one of today's leading researchers in SCADA security, and someone we felt had to present at Digital Bond's S4 event. His paper on OPC Denial of Service attacks was rated the top paper by many of the attendees. We always track Ralph's work closely to see what new tool or research results he has completed, and he definitely is our go to guy when it comes to any Siemens security issues."
Dale Peterson, CEO
