TXOne Networks’ Unique Stellar Solution Safeguards Operational Stability for Organizations in Semiconductors, Manufacturing, Oil and Gas, Banking, Pharma and Other Verticals
July 2023 by Marc Jacob
TXOne Networks announced its Stellar solution
for defending operational stability. Employing TXOne Networks’ unique
approach to security, Cyber-Physical System Detection and Response
(CPSDR), Stellar supports the priorities of security and operations
without either team having to sacrifice capability or performance.
customers in semiconductors, manufacturing, oil and gas, automotive,
pharmaceuticals and many other industries, Stellar is the first
solution to offer seamless detection and prevention capabilities with
complete oversight for legacy and new OT devices. With intuitive
management and informed automation, implementation is quick and
simple while remaining non-impacting to resource-restricted devices.
The behavioral patterns of the OT devices and cyber-physical systems
on plant floors are automatically established and continuously
monitored. Even a single abnormal interaction demands scrutiny that
common cybersecurity approaches borrowed from information technology
(IT) are often not designed to recognize or address. Stellar,
however, analyses the baseline "fingerprints" of each individual
device to reveal any unexpected behavior that threaten reliable and
stable operations. The TXOne
Networks solution then prevents the unexpected change and generates
alerts to complete wider analysis. In this way, Stellar is not
limited to combatting known threats; rather, by leveraging TXOne
Networks’ OT-native CPSDR capabilities, Stellar’s stability-driven
approach addresses unexpected system changes before operations can be
impacted.
Stellar consists of an agent that works with an organization’s OT
devices and a centralized management console that streamlines
management and policy control. A comprehensive OT-context-focused
database, which TXOne Networks maintains in partnership with leading
device original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), informs the accurate
identification and preservation of more than 8,000 OT/industrial
control system (ICS) applications, certificates and devices.
To balance the priorities of security and operations teams, Stellar
delivers complete protection of operational environments and the OT
devices that they comprise of, including:
· Multi-method threat prevention to secure OT/ICS devices from
malware and abuse threats
· Operations behavior anomaly detection to prevent malware-free
attacks
· Operation lockdown to safeguard operational integrity, reduce the
chance of downtime and reduce the requirements for outages
(especially valuable for "non-patchable" systems)
· Trusted control of USB devices to protect against their
unauthorized access
