Secure your IT and ICS/OT Critical Systems
Keeping your ICS environment physically off the enterprise network is no longer a trusted cybersecurity strategy.
Why? A physical air gap neither prevents malware intrusions, nor helps you spot malware once it makes it inside your network.
A strong cybersecurity posture for ICS requires full visibility into the network’s traffic (IT enterprise network and OT operational technology network).
“… deploying systems and technologies that can monitor control systems to detect malicious activity and facilitate response actions to cyber threats is central to ensuring the safe operations of these critical systems.
The Federal Government will work with industry to share threat information for priority control system critical infrastructure throughout the country.”

for Critical Infrastructure Control Systems
Getting visibility into remote sites with harsh environments – Power Substations, Mining Sites and other unique locations.
Aggregates multiple input streams into multiple aggregated output streams– optimizing scarce tool port requirements within your substation.
Filters out unwanted traffic based on packet headers, eliminating unwanted traffic like CCTV video feeds.
The Vision T1000 also load balances traffic to optimize usage of monitoring tools.
TAA Compliant, certified for harsh operating environments, and supports AC and DC power requirements
Cybersecurity and ICS/OT
Bridging the OT/IT Security Gap
Capture and copy traffic from any IT or OT network — at each layer and every site
Collecting and archiving network traffic in harsh environments in remote sites and substations
Provides OT and IT personnel the visibility they need to successfully monitor critical infrastructure systems
TAA compliant and compact
“We cannot address threats we cannot see; therefore, deploying systems and technologies that can monitor control systems to detect malicious activity and facilitate response actions to cyber threats is central to ensuring the safe operations of these critical systems.”

Security breaches.
Vulnerable industrial control systems (ICS): heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), Building power distribution systems and communication systems.
Improve ICS security with cost-effective network visibility.
Cybersecurity threats
Emergence of Smart Grid
Changing Power Mix
Prevent network blind spots by processing and analyzing digital data.
Easily inspect and monitor traffic on IT and ICS/OT networks.
Increase the efficiency of power generation, operation and service delivery.
Testing SCADA networks
Create a simulation of complex SCADA networks including tens to thousands of endpoints; applications like Modbus, IEC, and Bacnet; and also exploits and malware.
Measure the resiliency of systems, make purchase decisions, train OT teams on SCADA security incidences, and make new technology deployments decisions.
This paper explains NERC’s compliance requirements Utilities should consider when implementing a monitoring and visibility strategy for the 100Day Plan. The NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards include regulatory elements that make collecting and archiving network traffic more important than ever before. Utilities are subject to regular NERC Compliance audits and must also regularly conduct vulnerability assessments.
The interconnectedness of OT Networks and ICS with IT networks has increased the ICS/OT attack surface due to:
