OT Firewall Security
Safely Enable IIoT
In the vanguard of industrial innovation, the adoption of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has redefined the manufacturing landscape, ushering in an era of unprecedented connectivity and efficiency. However, this digital metamorphosis brings with it an expanded threat surface, placing operational technology (OT) environments in the crosshairs of cyber adversaries. It is here, in the crucible of industry and innovation, that Open Systems introduces its dedicated OT Firewall Security solution—fortifying the backbone of your manufacturing operations.
Understanding OT Firewalls
An OT Firewall is the specialized sentinel tasked with safeguarding the communication between industrial control systems (ICS) and external networks. Unlike traditional IT firewalls, an OT Firewall is designed to understand and protect the nuances of industrial protocols and the operational imperatives of the manufacturing floor. It is engineered to withstand the rigors of industrial environments while providing the granular visibility and control necessary to secure critical infrastructure.
The Open Systems Approach to OT Security
At Open Systems, we recognize that while Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is crucial for securing remote access points, the core of the OT environment demands its own bastion of security. Our OT Firewall Security solution is meticulously crafted to address this need, offering a robust layer of protection that is attuned to the specificities of industrial systems.
Our solution extends beyond mere access control; it is a comprehensive security apparatus that monitors traffic flows within the OT network, ensuring that every packet of data is accounted for and inspected for signs of malfeasance. With the integration of advanced threat detection capabilities, our OT Firewall is not just a barrier but an intelligent system that can identify and remediate threats proactively.
Proactive Monitoring and Threat Remediation
The cornerstone of Open Systems’ OT Firewall Security is its proactive stance. By continuously monitoring the OT environment, the firewall captures and analyzes traffic patterns, identifying anomalies that could signal a breach or an impending threat. This level of scrutiny is vital in an ecosystem where even the slightest irregularity can be the harbinger of a targeted attack or system failure.
In the event of a detected threat, our OT Firewall Security solution is equipped to respond swiftly and decisively. Remediation processes are initiated to neutralize threats before they can escalate, ensuring that the integrity of your OT environment is maintained. This preemptive approach is crucial in preserving the continuity of operations and safeguarding against the costly downtime that can result from security incidents.
How We Protect Your Network
Dedicated FW
OT environments are often run without any visibility and security control in place, except when traffic is leaving the facility out to the Internet.
That’s how a threat could be detected, but it might already be too late.
Organizations need to bring visibility and mitigation controls inside the OT environments.
Open Systems provides a dedicated firewall solution, including IDS capabilities to monitor traffic and detect threats, as well as mitigating them thanks to network isolation.
OT segmentation
In order to reduce lateral movement in case of a breach, a thorough network segmentation should be implemented on the OT firewall.
Open Systems provides technical support to organizations to successfully implement OT segmentation, which is then easily managed thanks to our practical policy and zoning concepts.
