The MDR in the OT and Industrial.
How Netgroup increases security in OT/Industrial by monitoring threats that insist on industrial automation technologies (OT – Operation Technologies) and networked measurement and control devices (IoT – Internet of Things)
The Challenge
Cybersecurity for Industry 4.0
The transformation of Industry 4.0 is driving significant changes in the industrial landscape, with major impacts on business technology strategies and the need to redefine the integration between Operating and Information Technology networks.
Industrial control technologies play a crucial role in this digital evolution. While they offer obvious advantages in terms of flexibility and efficiency of production processes, it is important to consider that they significantly increase vulnerability and exposure to cyber risks.
The Proposal
Industry 4.0: technological challenges and opportunities
Pietro De Angelis, Cybersecurity expert at Netgroup explains how to ensure protection in the OT/Industrial environment.
Netgroup has evolved its experience and expertise in cybersecurity to offer an advanced solution in the OT/Industrial sector. Working with leading vendors in the industry, it has developed the Netgroup Industrial SOC, a three-step (Detection, Analysis, Reporting) control system to significantly improve the security of OT/Industrial environments.
SOC Industrial Netgroup customers can count on a service operating on various time slots. A trained operator constantly monitors the management console, reporting any detected security anomalies to the customer contact person. These anomalies are analyzed according to the specificity of the context, and the results are included in detailed reports and shared with the customer.
With continuous monitoring and knowledge of the customer’s infrastructure, the SOC proactively identifies threats, preventing incidents and ensuring business continuity.
THE SOLUTION APPROACHES
The main risks to OT infrastructure involve attacks of various kinds that are resolved through approaches such as:
- Agnostic Approach: protection services and solutions independent of specific technologies, protocols, and devices;
- Heterogeneous protection: mitigation of security risks from direct, indirect attacks, human error, and insider threats;
- Extended coverage: targeted protection for OT networks, integrable with IT, cloud and SaaS security solutions;
- Self-learning: rapid implementation of protection solutions due to automatic self-learning of artificial intelligence.
These approaches provide comprehensive and flexible protection to deal with different security threats.
The Benefits
Being a customer of Netgroup's Industrial SOC.
Availability on time slots of skilled technicians
Real-time reporting of anomalies
Continuous threat reporting
The Results
The role of Netgroup
Netgroup, through technologies such as AI, best-in-class technology, advanced dashboards and interfaces for drill-down and integrability with IT network, on-premise and cloud protection tools, implements the various operational steps consisting of Detection, Analysis and Reporting to ensure maximum security efficiency in the OT and Industrial spheres in order to marginalize possible damage and incidents on tools and people.
