OT Security
...[Read More]
Description
The once clear distinction between information technology (IT), operational technology (OT) and Industrial Control System (ICS) networks is becoming blurred due to increased demand for connectivity. This convergence exposes OT and ICS assets to cyberattacks, which can propagate from the IT domain into operational environments. Specifically, transferring files and devices into, across, and out of secure environments is a key potential avenue for security incidents.
Removable (USB) media and transient devices present a risk since they may contain infected files, malware in hidden partitions, and malicious hardware/firmware. And business stakeholders require access to industrial operational data; however, this breaks network segmentation and air-gaps, exposing the OT/ICS environments to vulnerabilities.
OPSWAT solutions enable safe and compliant usage of removable media, transient devices and enforce unidirectional data transfers.
BENEFITS
Benefits of OT & Industrial Cybersecurity Solutions
- Prevent Breaches with Multiscanning: Malware continues to bypass defenses since cybercriminals develop increasingly sophisticated threats. OPSWAT ensures security and minimizes supply chain risks by leveraging 30+ antimalware engines, and file vulnerability assessment, preventing the introduction of unsafe files and binaries.
- Protect Against Malicious Devices: Removable media and transient devices containing rogue firmware, malware in files/hidden partitions can directly compromise OT endpoints. OPSWAT prevents media and file-based attacks, enforces usage of trusted devices, and verifies all media and files have been scanned and approved.
- Secure Multiple Content and Device Delivery Routes: OPSWAT serves as a secure channel protecting both inbound (ingress) and outbound (egress) delivery routes. Files can be uploaded over the internet, delivered across network segments, or transported via removable media. Every file and device being transferred is scanned to ensure its safety, and inspected to prevent the loss of sensitive information.
- Enable Access to Industrial Data without Disruptions: Isolate your secured networks against attack propagation, while providing access to real-time OT/ICS data and enabling secure IT-OT data and file transfers. OPSWAT Unidirectional and Bilateral Security Gateways support a wide range of Industrial OT and corporate IT protocols, with complete reliability and no data loss.
