Increase in Remote Access Connection to Critical infrastructure and automation networks
Organizations running critical infrastructure and automation networks are dealing with ever increasing cyber threats yet have a shortage of cybersecurity skills and inadequate OT/IoT threat detection tools and processes. Fully air-gapped OT networks that are fully isolated from cyber threats have become exceedingly uncommon, highlighting the critical importance of protecting internet-facing ICS devices and remote access connections.
The rapid shift to a remote workforce—and thus the increased reliance on remote access connections to OT networks—due to the COVID-19 pandemic further underscores this point and aggravates the associated risks.
Vulnerabilities in ICS Systems
More than 70% of the vulnerabilities disclosed during 1H 2020 can be exploited remotely via a network attack vector. Over the last 10 years, since the ground-breaking Stuxnet attack, industrial and OT networks have increasingly become the target of threat actors.
Vulnerabilities discovered in ICS systems provide attackers with opportunities to disrupt or manipulate data, which can impact physical processes and be extremely dangerous. It is therefore important to take the trends in vulnerabilities and weaknesses into account when evaluating security risks.
How We Can Help
We help you achieve OT and IoT security and through exceptional network visibility, threat detection and operational insight. We accelerate digital transformation by unifying cybersecurity visibility for the largest critical infrastructure, energy, manufacturing, mining, transportation, building automation and other OT sites.
We offer a range of services which are specifically tailored to assist your organisation in applying a risk-based approach to secure your critical infrastructure.
Security Assessments
We provide OT/IoT/ICS/SCADA Security Assessments based on Industry Security Standards
Assurance Testing
We can conduct SCADA Security Assurance Testing specifically designed to take all the precautions when performing vulnerability scanning and penetration testing.
Architecture Reviews
We can conduct network Architecture Reviews performed in accordance with Critical Infrastructure’s Good Practices Guides (GPGs)
Our Deliverables
We will provide you with a concise report that includes:
Threats - A detailed description of the current cyber threats and risks that apply to your SCADA network
Priorities - A comprehensive analysis that identifies and prioritises the key security findings observed.
Roadmap - A strategy and roadmap to help reduce your cyber risks and build cyber resilience capabilities.
