<\/p>\r\nProtecting IoT environments<\/p>\r\n
The digital transformation and Industry 4.0 are leading to the greater interconnectivity of systems and the automation of processes. Although there are many opportunities brought by innovation, the increasing spread of connected IoT devices that cannot be updated or patched creates huge security risks and opens the door to possible and dangerous attacks on corporate infrastructures. In addition, unlike in the past, when IT and OT were separate environments, more and more OT systems are being connected and integrated into IT networks, increasing the security risk level of all objects connected to the Internet. This means that failure to protect both the environments not only increases the likelihood of a cyber attack but also the extent of the potential damage suffered.The growing number of IoT\/OT devices, which are increasingly necessary to preserve the competitiveness of companies, only multiplies the entry points and extends the attack surface that can be exploited by attackers. In this context, if the OT environment and network do not have adequate protections, attackers can access critical resources and infrastructure to distribute malware and disrupt business activities and operations. A further element of complexity is the use of legacy systems still present in many production environments, with outdated devices, protocols and operating systems: these older assets can be difficult to protect and may be vulnerabilities because they are no longer supported and patched.The problem is even greater if there is a lack of cyber security expertise in the company, and in particular with specialised knowledge in the OT world, with 24\/7 availability: in such cases, even equipping oneself with the best cyber security technologies may not be enough to protect one’s IT\/OT infrastructure.It is therefore essential to have the best security solutions, accompanied by 24\/7 management by a Security Operation Center with certified IT\/OT expertise.<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
The increasing pervasiveness of IoT objects poses a security risk and opens the door to possible and dangerous attacks on corporate infrastructures. The best approach to securing industrial environments is through the choice of the best technologies, with 24-hour monitoring by cyber security experts.<\/p>\r\n
Protection of complex industrial environments<\/p>\r\n
The solution enables the protection of complex industrial environments from known and zero-day attacks, even in hybrid IT\/OT environments and even when using older legacy systems.<\/p>\r\n
Minimal impact on performance<\/p>\r\n
The agents used are lightweight and require a minimum commitment of resources to run, while at the same time minimising downtime.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
Zero Trust policy application<\/p>\r\n
Every asset connected to the network must follow Zero Trust logic, even IoT devices. The ability to monitor each connected object allows the most appropriate security policies to be applied effectively.<\/p>\r\n
Fully managed security<\/p>\r\n
Maximum protection can only be achieved by relying on a SOC with specialist cyber security skills, active 365 days a year, 24 hours a day<\/p>\r\n
