Air Gapping
Industrial Solutions
Challenge: How can I air gap my virtualized industrial environment?
Performance demands and the rise of innovative Industry 4.0 use cases for IoT devices, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other advanced technologies have made completely air-gapped networks seem too limited.
Many say that air gapping is no longer a viable security tactic because of the widespread connectivity of industrial networking components. Increased connectivity combined with ever-growing usage of cloud-based solutions have pushed industrial network architects to look for more modern answers to cybersecurity issues.
This speaks to the larger challenge that industrial network architects face. When you start to deploy public and private cloud environments, how are you able to maintain visibility of all packets coming into and going out of the network in a way that keeps you in complete control of security? Designing industrial networks with passive network TAPs and data diodes have always been important. But new cloud environments and air-gapped networks require a more dedicated solution.
Solution
Private Air Gapped Cloud Traffic Mirroring Controller
Air gap systems aim to physically isolating devices and applications from outside networks, you ensure that when an attacker penetrates your defenses, they aren’t able to move laterally and compromise key components of your IT/OT infrastructure.
With the born-in-the-cloud Garland Prisms solution, you get a 100% out-of-band and passive platform that works with any cloud, supports all monitoring tools and systems, and is capable of performing any kind of cloud traffic mirroring. This is a cloud TAP solution that guarantees all packets are delivered to the proper monitoring tools and services. To extend these capabilities to air-gapped networks, Garland Prisms introduces on-premises management options that will help industrial environments remain secure without sacrificing cloud capabilities.
