OT Security for Cyber Risk Management at the Edge

Introduction:

Within the sphere of industrial control systems (ICS), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) play pivotal roles. As the realms of Information Technology (IT) and Operations Technology (OT) merge, the resulting broad attack surface becomes a critical issue: the question is not whether a cyberattack will happen, but rather when.

Our client embarked on a quest for a robust hardware solution to enhance their OT security offering, addressing the following challenges:

• Limited Asset Visibility: Many industrial organizations lack comprehensive visibility into their assets, making them susceptible to blind spots in security.
• Ineffective Vulnerability Management: Handling cyber risks in operational technology requires proactive vulnerability management, a facet often overlooked by industrial entities.

IEI solutions achieved following results:

• Enhanced Asset Visibility: The hardware solution offers unparalleled visibility into the industrial network, mitigating blind spots and improving overall asset management.
• Proactive Vulnerability Management: By incorporating advanced vulnerability management features, the solution assists industrial organizations in anticipating and mitigating cyber risks before they escalate.
