Protecting the critical infrastructure that powers nation-states worldwide is not just a big task; it's crucial. Too many people have given up on protecting their OT assets and are content to monitor them to see when something goes wrong. However, the potential risks are too high to be complacent. Zero Trust for OT is crucial and should be prioritized since the return on mitigation is so high.
BlastWave blocks entire classes of risk (as defined by the MITRE ICS ATT&CK framework), dramatically altering the cybersecurity landscape for OT network administrators. By blocking remote risk factors and minimizing the attack surface, BlastWave’s Return on Mitigation (ROM) is far superior to investing in other OT cybersecurity solutions, providing network protection for 84 of 90 ICS tactics.
OT networks should not be open to the Internet. Hackers should not be able to discover that the OT network exists. An OT device rarely needs to connect to the Internet directly. What you can’t see, you can’t attack. BlastWave’s Network Cloaking blocks Discovery in OT networks.
Granting access to OT networks is like giving a user the keys to the kingdom. Passwords must be eliminated—credentials are stolen online with frightening regularity, and 90% of successful hacks begin with a phishing email. BlastWave’s Passwordless MFA, which is not vulnerable to phishing, MFA bombing or session hijacking, blocks Inital Access to OT networks.
Microsegmentation is not just a feature; it is a necessity for OT. Individual devices cannot be trusted to be secure, as they can be a decade out-of-date and no longer supported by the vendor—but they still must run. To mitigate the risk of insider threats, users should only be able to access the devices they require to do their job, not all of the devices on the flat Layer 2 network. BlastWave’s Software-Defined Microsegmentation blocks Lateral Movement in OT Networks.
