Ensuring Compliance with International Security Standards & Guidelines
OT DEFENDER
Device-level, zero-trust cybersecurity
for multi-vendor PLCs
Attacks against Industrial Control Systems (ICS) continue to grow in size, frequency, and impact. Further complicating the situation are insider threats such as turncoats, operational negligence, or well-meaning employees who don’t practice proper cyber hygiene.
These incidents put operations at risk, potentially resulting in partial or complete production line shutdowns, compromised safety, financial loss, business shutdown, and even loss of lives. In critical industries, such attacks can have an impact on entire macro-economies.
Current solutions such as IDS and IPS either provide post-incident detection – without preventing the damage in the first place, or rely on network connections. They do not protect from insiders and lead to alert fatigue.
Focused on prevention – and not detection, NanoLock OT Defender is a device-level, zero-trust solution that protects the integrity of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) against outsider adversaries, supply chain actors, and insider incidents including human errors.
NanoLock OT Defender protects all PLCs in distributed environments, whether they are connected to a network, offline or air-gapped, and whether they are new or legacy. It’s a single interface that supports all vendors.
OT Defender has zero impact on OT device performance and functionality. It does not place unnecessary “speed bumps” on day-to-day user experience or slow operations down. It’s a seamless extension of any OT cybersecurity program, embraced by engineers alike.
OT Defender’s preventive, zero-trust approach means:
- Zero production downtime
- Zero impact on performance and functionality
- Compliance with the strictest regulations
- Ability to maintain safety
No impact on performance, functionality or user experience
Whether legacy or new; whether connected, disconnected or air-gapped
Does not lead to alert fatigue
OT Defender’s Management of Things (MoT) platform provisions, monitors, and manages all its protected PLCs, while assuming the trusted server functionality. The MoT platform is a cloud-based or on-premise solution that is managed by the customer or its MSSP. The MoT functionality can be easily integrated into a managed security service as part of the customer SIEM/SOC. Alerts and collected data can also be exported to any backend system.
