GE Presence in
Industrial Control Systems Security Solutions
GE is one of the leading providers of industrial automation and cybersecurity products. In the last decade, GE has made various transformations in its industrial products portfolio, which reflects some of the strongest decisions that the company has taken, including the acquisition of Alstom’s power and grid business, the spin-off of Synchrony Financial (SYF), and the deposition of its appliance and lighting segment. Around 60% of the company’s revenues come from the industrial business segment and the balance 40% from capital insurance. In April 206, GE launched Predix for IIoT for businesses and partners in order to develop software solutions for their own operations and customers. Companies such as Exelon, University of California, San Francisco, BP, and Proctor & Gamble have also partnered with GE to benefit from the Predix app and increase efficiency and productivity. GE has also taken steps to sharpen its focus on the digital industrial side by continuing with its sale of capital assets. In line with its inorganic growth strategy, the company signed two valuable partnerships in 2016 solely for the benefits of its customers. The first partnership was with Hewlett Packard Enterprise, which leveraged GE’s industry software to deliver a new suite of solutions for customers willing to enhance their businesses with real-time analytics and insights. The second partnership was with Zentech Inc., according to which, both the companies aimed to work together and offer advanced vessels for their marine and offshore customers.
