Kaspersky has joined forces with Waterfall Security
Solutions to better secure industrial networks. Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks
in tandem with Waterfall for Intrusion Detection Systems enables a
non-intrusive industrial network inventory, threat detection and hardware-enforced
protection from network attacks.
Industrial enterprises must meet emerging cybersecurity
challenges that come with operational technology (OT) network digitalization.
As such, 55% of organizations
are now confident that the Internet of Things will change the state of security
in industrial control systems (ICS). Due to this need, products such as those
offered by both Kaspersky and Waterfall are now presented as a timely and
cost-effective way to protect against network threats. This ensures that these
two landmark products are compatible, a vastly significant accomplishment for
industrial organizations.
Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks detects
anomalies and intrusions inside OT networks, which allows industrial
enterprises to prevent any negative impacts on industrial processes. Waterfall
for Intrusion Detection Systems enables network intrusion sensors to connect
to, and monitor, OT and ICS networks without any risk to physical operations. A
combined team of Waterfall and Kaspersky engineers carried out extensive
compatibility verification tests on the two products to assure both
technological and operational benefits from the final solution.
These advantages include extending the visibility of
security and network operations centers (NOC) into fully-isolated ICS networks,
as well as enabling real-time analysis of network traffic for any suspicious
activities. Along with the ability to connect industrial networks into
enterprise monitoring, analysis and alerting infrastructures without the risks
of firewalled connectivity.
"At Kaspersky we consider industrial network monitoring
for security threats and anomalies one of the main measures to establish a
holistic OT security process," said Sergey Paltov, solution architecture
group manager for Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity. "The certified
compatibility of Waterfall and Kaspersky technologies will give our customers
the confidence to connect industrial networks into monitoring, analysis and
alerting infrastructures with an additional level of OT perimeter protection."
"Extending the visibility of security and network
operations centers into industrial control system networks is often the first
step taken by enterprise security teams tasked with securing industrial
networks," said Ran Pedhazur, chief business development officer at
Waterfall Security Solutions. "We are happy to work with Kaspersky to
provide Unidirectional Security Gateways for this important function that makes
industrial network traffic and anomalies visible with Kaspersky Industrial
CyberSecurity for Networks."
