At Network Digital Security, Inc., we recognize that operational technology (OT) systems are critical to your organization’s ability to manage, monitor, and control industrial operations. These systems, which include Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), are at the heart of many industries, from manufacturing to energy. However, as these systems become more interconnected with IT networks, they are increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats. Our Operational Technology Security services are designed to protect these vital systems from cyberattacks, ensuring the safety, reliability, and integrity of your operations.

Comprehensive Protection for Operational Technology Systems

Our Operational Technology Security solutions provide layered defenses for your ICS and SCADA systems, ensuring that all aspects of your operational technology infrastructure are protected from cyber threats.

Key Features of Our OT Security Services:

  • Network Segmentation: We help segment your IT and OT networks to reduce the attack surface and contain potential threats to specific areas of your infrastructure.
  • Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS): Our advanced IDPS solutions monitor your OT networks in real time, detecting and preventing unauthorized access and malicious activity.
  • Access Control: We implement strict access controls, ensuring that only authorized personnel can interact with your OT systems, reducing the risk of insider threats and unauthorized changes.
  • Patch Management: We provide proactive patch management, ensuring that your ICS and SCADA systems are always up to date with the latest security patches and firmware updates.

Securing Industrial Control Systems (ICS)

Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are the backbone of many critical operations, and any disruption to these systems can have severe consequences. Our approach to ICS Security ensures that your systems are protected from both external cyber threats and internal vulnerabilities.

ICS Security Solutions Include:

  • Threat Monitoring: We provide 24/7 monitoring of your ICS environment, detecting potential security threats before they can cause damage.
  • Physical and Cybersecurity Integration: Our solutions combine physical security measures, such as access control, with cybersecurity defenses to create a comprehensive security framework.
  • Incident Response: In the event of a breach, our team is prepared to respond quickly, minimizing downtime and ensuring that your systems can return to normal operation as soon as possible.
  • ICS Device Security: We ensure that all devices within your ICS network are securely configured and regularly monitored to prevent unauthorized access or tampering.

Protecting SCADA Systems from Cyber Threats

SCADA systems play a crucial role in overseeing and controlling critical infrastructure. Protecting these systems from cyberattacks is essential to maintaining operational continuity and ensuring that your organization remains compliant with industry regulations.

Our SCADA Security Services:

  • Network Monitoring and Control: We monitor SCADA networks for signs of anomalous behavior, ensuring that any suspicious activity is quickly identified and mitigated.
  • Encryption and Secure Communications: We implement encryption and secure communication protocols to protect data transmitted between SCADA devices and control centers.
  • Vulnerability Assessments: Our team conducts regular vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential weaknesses in your SCADA systems, ensuring that you stay one step ahead of attackers.
  • Compliance Support: We help you stay compliant with industry standards and regulations, such as NERC-CIP, by ensuring that your SCADA systems meet the necessary security requirements.

Addressing Common OT Threats

Our Operational Technology Security services are designed to protect your organization from a wide range of common OT threats, including:

  • Malware and Ransomware: We safeguard your OT systems from malware attacks that can disrupt operations or encrypt critical data.
  • Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs): We detect and neutralize APTs that target OT environments, preventing attackers from gaining long-term access to your critical infrastructure.
  • Insider Threats: Our access control measures and continuous monitoring help protect against insider threats, ensuring that malicious actors within your organization cannot compromise your OT systems.
  • Zero-Day Vulnerabilities: Our proactive security solutions defend against zero-day vulnerabilities, protecting your OT systems from unknown and emerging threats.
