Since 2016, makandra has been supporting Siemens in the development of the SINEC Security Inspector. This enables product development departments and network and manufacturing plant operators to examine the extent to which their devices and systems are protected against cyberattacks.
In order to identify existing digital vulnerabilities as early as possible, the team is constantly on the lookout for security gaps in Siemens products and then quickly provides the respective product managers with solutions to close these gaps.

Built-in security tools detect known and unknown vulnerabilities
The SINEC Security Inspector is a metal box about the size of a box of chocolates that can be connected directly to a device, server, or server target network. Once the SINEC Security Inspector has been configured based on the selected protection goals, an automatic test program starts the various security tools. All security tools are combined in an easy-to-use interface and are updated and expanded as needed. They enable the identification of vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed, Ghost, WannaCry, NotPetya, and many other gaps.
Depending on the scope of the selected test program, SINEC Security Inspector delivers an easy-to-read report with a traffic light system after a few minutes or hours. This shows possible security gaps at a glance and illustrates recommended measures for network operators.
makandra is responsible for web application development.
The makandra team is responsible for the design and implementation of the web interfaces in Ruby on Rails for SINEC Security Inspector, with a particular focus on security. The following technologies are used for this purpose:
- Ruby
- PostgreSQL
- Linux
- Virtualization solutions (Docker, KVM)
- Puppet.
With makandra we found a highly qualified team of Ruby-on-Rails developers. So far the team has been able to implement all our requirements in an excellent way and thus help us to create a stable application. We especially appreciate the ability to find solutions for complex problems. Thank you very much for the always very pleasant and highly professional cooperation.
