Challenge: How can I mitigate critical infrastructure risk on legacy connections ?
Most security solutions are not supported by our legacy 1Gbps OM1 fiber connections. A cyberattack in the energy sector is possibly the most devastating scenario of all industrial cyber threats. We need to deploy and manage a security platform, utilizing 1Gbps copper links to enable faster detection and response to ICS/SCADA risk.
Solution
Media Conversion with Network TAPs
Not only do these TAPs bridge the gap between various media types, solving connectivity issues without having to upgrade existing infrastructure.
But network TAPs provide complete packet data, ensuing security platforms perform at peak performance without dropping packets.
Unlike common media converters:
• Failsafe technology recognizes power outages and automatically reconnects the link.
• Collect traffic from two sources and output it on a single 1 Gbps link.
• Reducing critical infrastructure risk with zero impact to operations by achieving 100% network visibility.
• Additional monitoring port for future expansion.
