Copia Automation embeds GenAI into DeviceLink to detect code risks, simplify recovery, and strengthen industrial cyber resilience.
Copia Automation has integrated GenAI into its DeviceLink platform to improve cyber resilience and operational transparency across industrial systems. The move addresses a critical challenge in manufacturing: understanding and managing complex code changes within programmable logic controllers (PLCs), robots, and HMIs. The systems often targeted by ransomware attacks.
With this upgrade, Copia AI automatically reviews code modifications from DeviceLink backups, generating human-readable summaries that describe what logic was added, removed, or altered. These summaries appear in change alerts, Git workflows, and job histories. This gives the engineers and cybersecurity teams instant visibility into code behavior without manually parsing dense scripts. This reduces downtime and accelerates recovery after cyber incidents.
According to Copia CEO Adam Gluck, the GenAI layer transforms automated backups into “an intelligent defense system.” It enables teams to detect unauthorized edits, validate version integrity, and restore safe configurations faster. The integration also supports compliance with NIS2 and ISO 27001, helping manufacturers meet strict security and audit standards. Analysts report that the addition of Copia AI multiplies return on investment by reducing incident response time and preventing costly misconfigurations.
Beyond speed, Copia’s GenAI brings a cultural shift to industrial automation. Instead of reactive troubleshooting, engineers gain real-time awareness of every code change in plain language, exposing potential risks and failed logic instantly. This clarity marks a step toward autonomous cyber resilience in operational technology environments. As industrial attacks grow more sophisticated, Copia’s GenAI-driven transparency ensures that even complex automation systems remain secure, compliant, and recoverable.
