Firewalls vs. Data Diode — Why OT Security Teams Turn to Data Diode TAPs
Air gaps and segmentation are common concepts to secure OT networks, with the goal of minimizing the harm of a breach and threats by isolating it to a limited part of the network. Unless an attacker obtains physical access to an air-gapped...
Developing a Single Source of Truth for Zero Trust
As federal agencies and companies move toward a Zero Trust model following recent executive orders to improve their cybersecurity posture, understanding your network’s ‘single source of truth’ is critical to building an effective Zero...
How Data Diode TAPs Improve Security Monitoring
Analyzing packet level data within a network has become a vital component within an organization's security architecture. Packet level visibility provides essential information needed to protect against security breaches that affect...
Adding Visibility to Improve Network Detection and Response (NDR)
Network detection and response (NDR) is a discipline that evolved out of what was once known as network traffic analysis. Basically, as network traffic became more complex—and more potentially malicious—network traffic analysis had to take...
U.S. Government Response to Cybersecurity Threats Expose Need for Visibility
High-profile incidents such as the SolarWinds supply chain attack that affected multiple U.S. government agencies, the attempted manipulation of control systems at the Oldsmar water treatment plant, and the ransomware attack on Colonial...
Why OT Security Relies on Threat Detection and Response
As the names imply, operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) have different origins. OT exists to manage operations – specifically, physical operations in various sectors of industry that have benefited from automation...
