Comments on QUB Cyber-AI Hub Partnership and Collaboration
We are very excited to be part of the collaboration with the QUB Cyber-AI Hub team and Industry Partners working to address many of the rapidly evolving threats and solutions to monitoring and securing OT & ICS systems and critical infrastructure.
Analysis of The Environmental Protection Agency’s Memorandum on “Addressing PWS Cybersecurity in Sanitary Surveys or an Alternate Process”
The Environmental Protection Agency’s memorandum on “Addressing PWS Cybersecurity in Sanitary Surveys or an Alternate Process” is a “guide” for public water systems (PWS) to evaluate and improve their cybersecurity posture. The memorandum does provide some useful guidance and recommendations for PWS to identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks in their operations, including conducting vulnerability assessments, developing incident response plans, and implementing cybersecurity controls.
OTNetGuard: A Comprehensive Solution for ICS/SCADA Security
supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems have led to a surge in cyber threats targeting these critical infrastructure systems. The potential consequences of an attack on ICS/SCADA systems can be devastating, ranging from environmental disasters to large-scale disruptions in essential services. To address these risks, OTNetGuard has developed an innovative ICS/SCADA monitoring sensor that can passively and securely capture analog, serial, and IP ICS/SCADA communications.
Next-Generation Industrial Communication Monitoring for Improved Cybersecurity and Operational Awareness
eration of critical infrastructure facilities such as power grids, water treatment plants, and oil and gas refineries. However, these networks are increasingly becoming targets for cyber-physical attacks. To help asset owners combat this, we have released a new and innovative ICS/SCADA monitoring sensor called OTNetGuard™. OTNetGuard is designed to capture analog, serial, and IP ICS/SCADA communications passively and securely. Combined with Cynalytica’s AnalytICS Engine capabilities to provide ICS communications deep packet inspection, advanced analytics and monitoring it can also easily integrate with third party SIEM and SOAR platforms.
We are Excited to Announce our New Partnership with Splunk® as a Technology Alliance Partner with the Commercial Availability of the Cynalytica Industrial Control System (ICS) Add-On for Splunk
Cynalytica is now extending and integrating the power of the SerialGuard® AnalytICS Platform for Industrial IoT/OT customers with Splunk®. This new partnership means that Splunk® users can now easily and securely capture real-time serial data from the lowest layers of the ICS network via the SerialGuard® AnalytICS Platform and leverage Splunk’s world-class AI and machine learning capabilities to gain automated contextual threat detection, actionable operational insights, and unified threat intelligence across their OT and IT networks.
