Solution
Cybersecurity for Industrial Systems. Inside Polarion. From Threat Assessment to IEC 62443.
A vulnerability disclosed after commissioning is still your problem — and industrial assets stay in service for decades. Nextedy brings threat assessment, CVSS and STRIDE into Polarion, linked to the requirements and evidence they affect, not a spreadsheet nobody owns.

Problem
The Core Question: How Much of Your Threat Model Survives Contact With a Live Vulnerability Feed?
General Safety-Critical Systems
30–60 %
High-Integrity Systems
60–80 %
Regulated IT/Automation Systems
40–70 %
Cybersecurity Requirements
80–100 %
Note: the bands above span safety-critical domains. The principle holds wherever a standard requires a requirement to trace back to an assessed risk.
Threats Don't Wait for Go-Live — Your Risk Picture Shouldn't Either
A failure mode you catch in design stays caught. A vulnerability doesn't: new exploits against IIoT gateways and third-party components surface long after deployment, reopening an assessment you thought was closed.
Most teams track threats in spreadsheets that go stale the moment a disclosure lands — leaving fielded systems assessed against a years-old threat picture.
Solution
Cybersecurity Risk Management for Assets That Stay in Service for Decades
Model Threats and Vulnerabilities, Not Just Hazards
Threats, vulnerabilities, assets, security goals, and security controls stay native Polarion Work Items — linked to your system architecture, software, and verification evidence. A threat profile sits next to the asset it targets, not in a team's spreadsheet.
One threat register, not one per site
Engineering and compliance read the same record
Link findings to the requirements they affect
Score and Triage Threats in a Spreadsheet-Simple Grid
Threat assessment, CVSS scoring and STRIDE modeling in a spreadsheet grid — inside Polarion LiveDocs, across IIoT, OT and connected products.
No retraining for teams coming from Excel
Triage threat lists across product lines and sites
Get real-time CVSS scores and risk visuals
Run Threat Assessment, CVSS, and STRIDE Side by Side
Whether you're scoring with CVSS, modeling with STRIDE, working toward IEC 62443 levels, or aligning with ISO/IEC 27001 and NIST CSF, RISKSHEET offers fully customizable templates — no methodology lives in its own silo.
Use best-practice templates, or configure your process
Apply consistent criteria across lines and sites
Map segmentation onto the systems they protect
Automate the Path From Disclosure to Mitigation
Integrate cybersecurity risk management with Polarion's workflow engine, enhanced by RISKSHEET, so a disclosed vulnerability moves straight into triage.
Configure guided workflows for risk treatment
Maintain audit trails for a compliance audit
Every threat has an owner and a gate it must clear
Keep Pace With a Threat Landscape That Never Stops Moving
Unlike a hazard closed out in design, a vulnerability can resurface years into deployment. Polarion’s versioning shows how your threat model changed and when — so a judgement made two years ago is still defensible.
Track every revision as new vectors emerge
Baseline at program milestones, then re-baseline on a new CVE
Compare versions to spot rating changes
Prove Security to Regulators, Auditors, and Customers
Produce the documentation auditors, customers, and compliance teams need for IEC 62443, ISO/IEC 27001, or NIST CSF reviews — with confidence, even after the threat picture has changed.
Export threat assessment, CVSS and STRIDE reports
Keep documentation accurate as the product evolves
Support vulnerability management with one current source

How Are Products Licensed?
As an annual software subscription. Active users of a given app need a Named Active User license for that product; a Connect license is required per server and gives every Polarion user read-only access to that app's views as a report. A commercial license covers one production instance on one Polarion server, including a load-balanced or multi-node cluster.

IEC 62443 and IEC 61508 run the same discipline — assess, treat, verify, maintain. Nextedy keeps both on the same Polarion record, so a control that serves security and safety is evidenced once, not argued twice.
