“By integrating SCADAfence into our environment, we were finally able to add OT visibility and monitoring to our ongoing security operations”
Halil Aydin, IT Infrastructure and Operations Director, Vestel
SCADAfence Platform
is a software-based
non-intrusive
solution, designed to
reduce the risks of:
- Operational downtime and production process manipulation
- Malware and ransomware infection
- External or internal cyber attacks
- Human error, misconfigurations and device malfunction
HOW IT WORKS
Non-Intrusive Seamless Deployment
SCADAfence is deployed as a non-intrusive component in the OT network. By integrating with a mirroring port in network switches, there is no impact on day-to-day operational processes. The installation process requires zero downtime, and the platform algorithms are automatically configured without any input from the user. The solution is software-based and is available either as a virtual appliance or as a network appliance.
OT Network Discovery
Once introduced into the OT network, SCADAfence starts to monitor the OT network activities. With passive DPI analysis and optional active polling, SCADAfence discovers all the assets in the network and their relevant industrial characteristics. The platform completely digitalizes the asset inventory and network communications mapping. In addition, an adaptive baseline is created to capture the current operational behavior of the environment.
Continuous Monitoring
SCADAfence algorithms offer real-time detection of malicious activities and anomalous behavior. This is based on deviations from normal behavioral profiles, rule-based capabilities, signature-based alerts and proprietary threat intelligence, the system detects abnormal activities that threaten the network. This includes cyber-attacks and non-malicious threats.
Integration with Existing Management Systems
SCADAfence can seamlessly integrate with existing firewalls, SOCs, SIEM products, with log aggregation devices or incident handling systems and processes. It does so by interfacing with industry standard mechanisms, and by being part of the security management processes, with internal alert handling management and advanced reporting.
Continuous OT network monitoring that provides
visibility, risk management and threat detection.
“If you’re trying to fulfill the requirements of NERC CIP, with CIP-002 and CIP-003, you have to know who’s on your network, how they’re accessing your network, and what they’re doing. SCADAfence is the only software that lets you build a custom policy, and then continuously monitors the compliance in realtime, based on real data points.”
Gerald Kissel, Plant Manager at the Garrison Energy Center
“If you ever had a NERC audit, the only way you can prove that you’re compliant with all of the NERC requirements is to show them the data in the SCADAfence Governance Platform. We no longer have to fill out compliance surveys, since the compliance reports and real-time alerts which SCADAfence provides us, ensure that we are compliant with the latest industry standards and that the power plant is running safely.”
Shawn Lebbon, Consulting Engineer at iV4, a ProArch Company
“One of the highlights of using the SCADAfence Platform is if you stick a device out there and forget to configure it, you get an alert that the device is out there requesting an IP address. It’s not just a generic alert, but it tells you exactly what the device is, so you have an idea where to start looking, The SCADAfence Platform really lets us sleep better at night knowing that we will be alerted when something’s starting to go wrong, even before things start shutting down.”
