NexDefense Unleashes Next Evolution of Award-Winning IIoT, Industrial Cybersecurity Software: Integrity™ 3.2
NexDefense,
a global leader for industrial IoT (IIoT) environments and
cybersecurity, today announced the next evolution of its flagship Sophia
platform, which is now branded as the Integrity™ product
suite.
Integrity™ 3.2, the first release under the Integrity™ name,
empowers industrial control system operators with real-time visibility
and awareness needed to improve system and process integrity, as well as
ensure cyber resiliency. The software, available now, helps meet today's
industrial IoT and industrial cybersecurity challenges by establishing a
baseline of normal control system network activities, continuously
monitoring assets and communications, and identifying system design
issues, misconfigurations, system failures, and abnormal or malicious
activities that could negatively impact production or safety.
Integrity™ 3.2 extends the powerful features enabled in 3.1,
while delivering capabilities that uniquely positions NexDefense to
solve tangible customer challenges like no other vendor in the industry.
Highlights include:
-
New Graphical User Interface - Sleek new design, logo and
Integrity™ branding throughout.
-
Industry-leading Asset Discovery & Inventory - Continuous,
vendor-agnostic, and passive (safe) for industrial control systems and
SCADA environments.
-
Network Visualization - Integrity™ Vision leverages
automation to bring an improved out-of-the-box experience, allowing
operators to be up and running within minutes. New configurable
options allow operators to more easily see and assess data and
communication types, paths, and more.
-
Visualization++ - Integrity&tade; Vision leverages
sophisticated three-dimensional graphics rendering and Virtual Reality
concepts to bring the traditional flat diagrams offered by competitors
to life, providing true situational awareness.
-
Rapid Detection Coupled with Behavioral Detection - Integrity™
is the only solution in the market that uniquely combines
signature-less, behavioral anomaly detection with signature-based
intrusion detection signatures (IDS) to detect and alert to risks
within the ICS environment. Customers, vendors or integrators can
write new signatures, and Integrity™ also accepts
signatures from threat intelligence feeds to be applied for rapid
detection and alerting, as well as for forensics at a later date. For
example, an IDS capable of detecting WannaCry was made available by
one of the threat intelligence agencies within a matter of hours of
its outbreak.
-
Enhanced Performance and Resiliency - Existing customers have
deployed hundreds of physical sites, with thousands of sites targeted
in the near term, each containing many devices. The core platform has
been enhanced to scale accordingly.
-
Support for NERC (News - Alert) CIP v5 - Customers are leveraging Integrity™
to automate aspects of their ICS and assist operators with a variety
of NERC CIP v5 requirements, including identification and
categorization, electronic security perimeters, system security
management and configuration change management. Additionally, the GUI
allows assets to be grouped, monitored and reported according to
various NERC CIP designations.
-
New Industrial Protocol Support - Support for OPC has been
added to an already extensive list of supported industrial protocols.
-
Cross-Pollination Across Products - Groups established by
operators to organize their environment in Integrity Vision will find
those same groupings inherited within Integrity Operations and
vice-versa.
"Very little visibility into ICS communications or assets exists,
especially in a holistic way, and operators have scant knowledge of what
is normal and what is abnormal. The excess complexity and lack of
visibility exposes operators to camouflaged risks," noted Mike Assante,
co-founder and chief security strategist for NexDefense. Consequently,
Integrity™ combines asset inventory with start-of-the-art
network visualization to provide deep visibility, operational awareness,
and context to how these assets and networks operate on a daily basis.
"From a solution perspective, we have aligned our goals directly with
our customers. Integrity™ achieves visibility and awareness
into their mission critical networks, in order to ultimately improve
their production and safety," said Matt Morris, vice president of
strategy and products for NexDefense. "The industry has been singularly
focused on cybersecurity threats instead of being focused on a broader
set of risks impacting production and safety. Integrity™
uniquely solves for the broader set of risks, enabling remediation and
an improved bottom line."
