Securing the Path from IT to OT
Integrate Operational Technology (OT) into your exposure management program to enhance security, resilience, and visibility across digital and physical assets. Build proactive risk mitigation and cross-functional alignment with evolving business needs.
Security & OT Challenges
The Gap Between OT Environments and Current Cybersecurity Solutions
OT environments are essential to many enterprises, but they face unique cybersecurity risks due to age and complex integrations with IT. Attackers exploit vulnerabilities across interconnected systems, posing significant risks to digital and physical assets as well as humans. XM Cyber proactively identifies and validates the attack paths and exposures that could enable IT and OT compromise.
Differing Priorities
While IT system downtime is an inconvenience, OT downtime is deemed unacceptable.
Connectivity Challenges
OT systems are often air gapped, but how confident are you that they are truly isolated?
Physical Impact
IT compromise impacts data confidentiality, integrity or availability; OT compromise can cause physical or human harm.
Break the Attack Path Between IT and OT
XM Cyber’s Continuous Exposure Management (CEM) platform leverages Attack Graph Analysis™ to provide end-to-end visibility into the threats targeting an organization’s most critical assets, including OT systems. You can visualize how an attacker could leverage exposures in IT assets to enter the OT environment and compromise machinery, systems, or other sensitive equipment.
Comprehensive Attack Mapping
Continuously map and simulate how attackers pivot from IT to reach OT systems.
Prioritized Risk Management
Prioritize and fix exposures residing on choke points where multiple attack paths converge, to add another layer of security to your OT environment.
Non-Intrusive Security Layer for OT Systems
Secure the path to OT without invasive probes or scans that could impact uptime to ensure availability & business continuity.
Eliminate Attack Paths from IT to OT
OT requires a different approach to ensure uptime and operational integrity. With XM Cyber you can modernize your enterprise security with visibility and analysis into the validated paths between IT and OT. Security and IT teams can collaborate to remediate the most impactful exposures and break the attack path before an incident.
