Risk Mitigation
Industrial Defender's Technology Suite
Critical Infrastructure systems - such as electricity, energy, water, and transportation are vital to our daily lives and the global economy, yet they face growing risk from cyber security threats that are doubling every year. Driven by the exponential growth in malware incidents, malicious attacks by hackers, the increased threat of cyber-terrorism, and the substantial impact of insider attacks, organizations are seeking an effective means of protecting these systems.
The Industrial Defender Risk Mitigation technology platform is the industry's first and only comprehensive fully integrated Cyber Risk Protection™ technology designed specifically to monitor and protect both new and legacy industrial control and SCADA systems with our industry leading Defense-in-Depth™ approach.
Introducing Fourth Generation Technology Suite for Enhanced Cyber Security
With the release of the Fourth Generation technology suite, Industrial Defender now offers the most comprehensive cyber security solution for industrial control and SCADA environments, from the control center to the utility substation. The suite features expanded scalability and availability, including the integration of the new Access Manager and the updated Security Event Manager (SEM). Major elements of the technology suite now include:
- Access Manager 4 is a secure remote access and authentication solution which provides centralized and decentralized access topologies, and is hardware and protocol agnostic for easy deployment. Access Manager is fully integrated into the SEM console for consolidated reporting, centralized monitoring, management and access control.
- Secure access and authentication for electric power substations
- Comprehensive AutoAudit™ reporting to support NERC CIP compliance requirements
- Centralized and decentralized support for user authorization and authentication
- Active Directory support for single point administration and group management
- SEM 4 aggregates all the information from Guards, HIDS, NIDS and third party firewalls to provide a comprehensive overview of the security status and performance of the control system. SEM 4 enhances the ability of process control SCADA system users to collect, alert and analyze security log data to simplify compliance and quickly respond to high risk security events.
- Enhanced third-party device monitoring support, including Cisco firewalls and switches
- Support for GarrettCom routers and Bow Networks Crossbow IED servers
- Access Manager data sharing for consolidated reporting of all critical cyber asset data for NERC CIP auditing
- Compliance Manager provides data collection and archiving of auditable events and configuration settings from DCS, SCADA, HMI workstations, electronic security perimeter devices and other critical cyber assets.
- Enhanced audit reporting through automated interpretation of log events
- Built-in report templates for critical infrastructure compliance regulations including NERC CIP
- Ad-hoc reporting capabilities for custom report generation
- Firewalls / Unified Threat Management (UTM) – Introducing new mid-range Guard for electronic security perimeter protection
- Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) – Network sensor appliance for detecting attacks, rogue systems and unauthorized traffic
- Host Intrusion Detection System (HIDS) – Soft sensors to detect control application issues, internal or external intrusions, misuse as well as performance bottlenecks on key servers and HMI's
Each layer of this solution is built to accommodate and leverage the unique functional, performance and operational needs of real time process control and SCADA environments. Access Manager, the SEM console, network sensor(s) and perimeter protection products are delivered pre-installed on high performance computing hardware, while other elements of this solution are included in software. Industrial Defender professional security experts and our partners provide complete installation, customization and training services for your solution which will help to minimize deployment time and maximize your cyber security protection.
