Security Monitoring of Critical Infrastructure
Solution Briefs
Deployment Scenario: Out-Of-Band Visibility Architecture
Monitoring of critical building infrastructures and industrial control systems (ICS) has become a key concern over the last several years for two reasons — cost control and unrelenting security threats. Security breaches continue to remain a persistent challenge for both data center providers and enterprises monitoring their networks, even as the expenditures on network security appliances increases.
Consistent monitoring and the installation of simple network visibility solutions can produce clear cost reductions. Critical pieces of network data exposed by a visibility solution and analyzed in either real time or near real time, prevent the loss of building functionalities like power outages, air conditioning outages, and equipment damage.
