SCADAfence helps secure all remote access connections into OT Infrastructure. Gain visibility into any changes on the network or within PLCs and process automation. Get full details on all remote user activities.
Since COVID-19, much of the global workforce has transitioned to working either hybrid or remote. However, process availability and safety remain a major concern, while the attack surface is growing dramatically due to remote connections. Organizations that rely on industrial infrastructure allow a large portion of their employees to work from home, while enabling them to continue their operations at the cost of operating under substantially higher risk.
The Problem:
Working remotely means opening networks to external access - which previously were not open, or had very limited remote access.
In an instant, the exposure of OT networks increased dramatically:
- People accessing from home - More remote locations and end-devices
- New infrastructures have technical risks - Remote access products in critical networks can be bypassed by cyber attackers that will then gain access to the critical assets
- Less controlled access - Endpoints that are used in remote access are connected to the internet and can be compromised (or are already compromised), which will give the attackers access to the critical assets - Such as this cyber-attack that we discovered on a remote server.
Benefits:
- Enable safe remote access to critical OT environments
- Increased visibility into remote users activities in the OT network
- Correlate between OT device level actions and remote connections
- Detect unauthorized actions
- Detailed activity reports
