Bayshore Networks e GE-Digital announced an expansion of their partnership, integrating their respective technologies to support the security of OT networks of factories and critical infrastructures.
The technology GE Digital's OpShield lets you inspect communications on your automation network, helping businesses recognize and block unauthorized traffic. This technology will now integrated into Cyber Security solutions of Bayshore Networks dedicated to the prevention and active protection of industrial equipment (PLCs, HMIs and workstations).
Thanks to this collaboration, companies can secure the heart of their operations, i.e. the display and control of production data.
By combining Bayshore's advanced In-depth Policy Engine technology with GE Digital's OpShield technology, companies can not only recognize and address threats to their assets, but also implement policies that enable them to advanced prevention.
OpShield Next Generation
Bayshore Networks will begin integrating the current range of OpShield solutions into its offering as early as the end of Q2021 XNUMX. But a new solution is also expected to arrive later in the year – OpShield Next Generation – which will combine OpShield technology with Bayshore's Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement technologies to protect most HMI and SCADA systems from unauthorized and potentially dangerous network activity, such as unplanned configuration changes, unexpected events , Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, spoofing etc.
OpShield NextGeneration will be able to interface with all major manufacturers' controllers. "Manufacturing companies and critical infrastructure operators have now understood that OT applications are no longer rigidly separated or isolated from the outside world and the pandemic has greatly extended the company perimeter and increased risk exposure", he explains Enzo Maria TieghiCEO ServiTecno. “Through this collaboration and the evolution of OpShield NextGeneration, Bayshore and GE Digital are taking operations security and resiliency to the next level, offering protection regardless of who provided the control technology.”
Bayshore's cyber security solutions are based on a deep understanding of industry protocols and can easily adapt to existing network implementations without forcing companies to change existing infrastructure or security practices or equipment configuration.
