Secure Security Operations Center (SOC) infrastructure in PFALZKOM’s Rhine-Neckar Data Center

Start of the joint collaboration

Both SAMA PARTNERS and PFALZKOM have been active members of the Network Smart Industries e.V. in Mannheim for a long time. Contact between the two companies was established via this joint platform – with the clear aim of sustainably strengthening digital security and regional data sovereignty in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region.

The Network Smart Industries is an initiative of the Mannheim Economic Development Corporation that has been funded since 2016. It is primarily concerned with the networked production and automation of Industry 4.0, which now has a cross-sector focus. The network is also concerned with how competition can be reconciled with sustainability and efficiency in the long term in order to master digitalization beyond company boundaries.

SAMA PARTNERS – as part of this network – focuses on information security, artificial intelligence (AI), post-quantum security consulting and compliance. The company is also a leading independent consultancy headquartered in Mannheim, combining many years of experience and integrated operations security solutions for clients in the region – and beyond.

Foundation against complex IT threats

SAMA PARTNERS Business Solutions GmbH is one of the leading specialists for comprehensive cybersecurity. In PFALZKOM’s state-of-the-art Rhine-Neckar Data Center, the company operates a high-performance, highly secure SOC infrastructure that is specially designed to meet the demanding requirements of industrial and business-critical systems.

The Security Operations Center from SAMA PARTNERS combines state-of-the-art technologies with in-depth expertise in securing complex production and corporate networks. This provides customers with seamless monitoring, rapid attack detection and precise response capability – both for traditional IT landscapes and for sensitive OT environments where downtime is intolerable.

Thanks to the Data Center’s redundant, energy-efficient and GDPR-compliant infrastructure, companies benefit from maximum availability and security. Customers already hosted in the Rhine-Neckar data center also have direct, extremely low-latency access to the specialized security services of SAMA PARTNERS.

The result: a seamless protective shield that combines IT and OT into a resilient, holistically secured digital environment.

All advantages in view

Based on the current constellation, there are also a number of advantages for partners and companies:

• Strengthening regional data sovereignty in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region
• Important contribution to the cyber security of SMEs
• Use of a certified and sustainable Data Center infrastructure
• Promotion of regional cooperation and technological innovation

A partnership that grows

For ten years, SAMA PARTNERS has been setting standards for professional exchange in the German and European cybersecurity landscape with the CYBERSECURITY CONFERENCE. In 2016, the event’s success factors included specialist presentations by cybersecurity experts and active dialog between speakers and participants.

SAMA PARTNERS always knows how to inform companies and the public in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region and beyond with presentations by top-class speakers – as well as with room for dialog – about central topics of cyber security, to provide educational work and to present tangible protection approaches against cybercrime. As a long-standing partner, PFALZKOM supports this event not only as a sponsor, but also in terms of content with specialist presentations and participation in panel discussions. Further joint projects will follow soon.
