Barracuda Networks and SCADAfence Announce Solution that Automate OT Network Security
Summary
California-based Barracuda Networks and Israel-based SCADAfence announce a solution to enforce security levels across operational technology (OT), critical infrastructure networks and smart buildings by providing visibility, detection and automated incident response to a growing number of new and critical security threats. The digital transformation of industrial control system (ICS) environments, which include an extended adoption of advanced technologies and connection to regular IT networks, has led to new security challenges. But increased digitalization has had the effect of closing the air gap and opening IT and OT systems up to potential attacks via the internet. Rising connectivity between manufacturing plants, critical infrastructure facilities, and smart buildings and their corresponding external environments has exposed operational technology (OT) networks to a threat landscape ranging from targeted attacks to generic ransomware. The SCADAfence Platform continuously monitors internal OT network traffic and, by analyzing the proprietary industrial protocols, provides asset discovery, inventory, vulnerability management and threat detection.
