Bayshore Networks, a leading US company in active protection for OT/ICS networks whose solutions are distributed and supported in Italy by ServiTecno, has expanded its offering of modular products for the Cyber Security of industrial control systems throwing OTfuse Lite.
The new product is an industrial safety equipment that is installed in the vicinity of endpoints that protect PLCs and other devices connected to the network. It configures itself automatically and offers an intelligent intrusion prevention system. It is a device designed to be used in a simple way by those involved in automation.
Its purpose is protect the OT network from unauthorized configuration changes, device resets, unauthorized reading of data. It is the last line of defense to protect plant assets from misuse. It can provide protection for up to 3 devices.
OTfuse Lite is expressly dedicated to non-critical industrial applications, which therefore do not require the highest level of availability of the original OTfuse. This "lightweight" version of OTfuse allows you to access most of the features of OTfuse Standard at a significantly reduced price, including Advanced Threat Detection, Policy Learning and Policy Enforcement.
“OTfuse is an optimal solution for system integrators and OEMs who find themselves in the condition of having to supply a PLC/SCADA based system where the end user is asked to connect the system to a pre-existing factory network or corporate network. Thanks to OTfuse it is in fact possible to continue to guarantee the integrity of network communications and the protection of the network portion from risks and intrusions”, he explains Enzo Maria Tieghi, CEO of ServiTecno.
“By introducing OTfuse Lite to our product line alongside OTfuse Standard, OTfuse iFIX and OTfuse Cimplicity, Bayshore continues to innovate by offering the most complete range of solutions for intelligent protection of industrial control systems,” commented Kevin Senator, CEO Bayshore Networks.
The OTfuse product family is part of a complete offering that Bayshore Networks dedicates to the security of industrial systems and which also includes NetWall unidirectional gateways and the OTaccess Secure Remote Access product family.
