Industrial Monitoring

It didn't take a worldwide pandemic for Industrial IT teams to realize that ICS/OT cybersecurity ought to be their #1 priority. In 2017, a NotPetya attack disrupted vaccine production at a major pharmaceutical company, causing $1.3 billion in damages and proved to the world that cyberattacks can cripple the operations of its victims. NotPetya impacted production facilities so effectively, that millions of doses had to be acquired elsewhere just to meet customer demand.

But ICS/OT systems haven't always been vulnerable to attack. While the threat of cyberattack has kept IT security teams awake for the past forty years, the Ukraine power plant hack in 2015, was the first real wake-up call to ICS/OT teams around the world.

The cyberattack in Ukraine is the first publicly acknowledged cyberattack to result in power outages. The hackers not only demonstrated their ability to infiltrate ICS systems, but also used their expertise in operating the ICS supervisory control systems to shut down substations which left over 220,000 customers without lights.

Industrial Control Systems within our critical infrastructure are under incredible pressure to secure their networks.

Monitor. Because you can't defend against threats you cannot see.

Industrial Validation

It's been said that there are two kinds of companies. Those who've been hacked, and those that don't know they've been hacked. And in these unusual times, the headlines scream about breaches occuring even at heavily fortified security companies. So how can you be sure that your cybersecurity defenses are actually working?

In a recent Keysight survey, 75% of companies surveyed have been breached on average once each year. Research indicates that only 50% of security professionals are confident in their current security solutions.

Those surveyed indicate their concern about an ever-increasing attack surface; they worry about insider threats with 66% worried about infected employee devices. 55% also worry about the risk of external attacks.

Professionals cope by throwing security solutions at the problem and hoping these tools perform as expected. But continuous security testing of their security defenses would give proof that their security efforts are working.

Validate. Because industrial cybersecurity is about saving lives.
