Industrial Security
We recognize that protecting against intentional or accidental security threats to Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems is an increasing threat to many organizations. The challenge is to develop a cyber security architecture and strategy that supports a union between Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) and clarifies the responsibility for protecting ICS systems.
Traditional IT security solutions such as firewalls, for example, hardly reduce the risk of an Industrial Control System (ICS) attack. By using devices that are explicitly designed to protect the critical infrastructure and detect these specific protocols, the risk of attack can be significantly reduced.
Key cornerstones of the AXIANS Industrial Cyber Security Architecture
- Network segmentation
- Vulnerability and Patch Management
- Network capture, analytics and monitoring tools
- Least Privilege concept for authentication
- Independent ICS Security Policy
