Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) consist of mission-critical assets and sophisticated computation. They are a major component for operations and drive business value. CPS downtime costs are always significant.
Traditional security measures are typically human-centric. When it comes to operational technologies (OT), addressing organizational security becomes more CPS-centric. The focal point becomes the CPS assets, and the involved operational process and context.
In 2023, TXOne Networks released the first OT-native endpoint solution that featured advanced Detection and Response capabilities for CPS, abbreviated CPSDR. Unlike traditional EDR solutions, this CPSDR feature takes operational context into account while analyzing abnormal behaviors and achieves high detection precision with minimal false alarms. Such a detection & response mechanism leads to actionable decisions, which are truly practical for operational environments where understaffing is a common issue, and sorting through thousands of event logs is definitely unwelcomed.
With that initial step proven reliable and affordable in operational environments, TXOne extended such CPSDR capabilities into other product lines such as network security and security inspection lines. Simultaneously, the security requirements and expertise level in OT have been elevated prominently. More and more organizations are building their security operation centers (SOC) in their manufacturing environments, leading to a strong demand for a CPS protection platform that orchestrates CPSDR capabilities from all points, and TXOne echoes that commitment to the world of cybersecurity once again.
During GISEC 2024, in Dubai, TXOne Networks debuted its brand-new CPS protection platform, SageOne, to bring CPSDR to a whole new level. The CPS protection platform encompasses products and services that leverage knowledge of industrial protocols, operational network packets, and traffic metadata, along with an understanding of physical asset behavior. It aims to discover, categorize, map, and safeguard CPS specifically within production or mission-critical environments, with the following objectives:
– Identifying and categorizing CPS assets within the operational environment.
– Providing in-depth information about the origin, history, and characteristics of CPS assets.
– Ensuring compatibility and interaction with industrial protocols commonly used in operational settings.
– Providing comprehensive visual representations of network structures and data flows within CPS environments.
– Offering insights into potential weaknesses or vulnerabilities within the CPS infrastructure.
Incorporating effective management of threat intelligence to stay abreast of emerging risks and hazards.
SageOne plays a crucial role in enhancing the security posture of industrial and mission-critical environments by combining knowledge of protocols, network behavior, and physical asset characteristics aggregated from versatile security angles. Combining the strong pillars of the security inspection product line (Element), the endpoint security product line (Stellar), the network security product line (Edge), and the CPS protection platform (SageOne), TXOne Networks will set a new standard for CPSDR among operational environments. Our vision is grounded in the belief that a world where cybersecurity seamlessly intertwines with and elevates industrial operations will unleash the potential for innovation. We’ll keep marching towards this direction.
