SCADAfence Partners With Demisto to Extend Automated Incident Response and Security Orchestration to OT Networks

NUREMBERG, Germany, Nov. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SPS-IPC Drives - SCADAfence, the industry leader in cybersecurity and visibility solutions for industrial OT networks, is partnering with Demisto, an innovator in security automation and orchestration technology, to enable industrial organizations to respond to the ever-increasing threats that spread from IT to OT networks.

With the integration of SCADAfence's Continuous Network Monitoring (CNM) solution with Demisto's Enterprise platform, security managers can better assess their exposure to cyberattacks that move laterally from IT to OT.  As a result, they can effectively respond and mitigate ongoing incidents that threaten their operational availability.

For example, if a ransomware attack, such as the infamous WannaCry or NotPetya, occurs in the IT network, organizations can easily identify their exposed OT assets and mitigate the risks before further infection takes place.

Benefits of the SCADAfence-Demisto joint offering:

1. Leveraging SCADAfence CNM's advanced analytics and deep understanding of the unique characteristics of OT networks to assess exposure of OT operations to threats identified in IT networks, such as malware and ransomware.
2. Enabling the Demisto Enterprise platform to extend security orchestration and automation capabilities to OT networks, enabling effective incident management and policy enforcement across the IT/OT enterprise.

Cybersecurity events involving industrial operations and critical infrastructures are becoming more commonplace. As OT networks require increased connectivity to IT networks and to the Internet as a whole, air-gapping is no longer a viable option.  

OT networks are now threatened by IT-originated attacks that spread to affect production lines. The potential damage to compromised OT networks is substantial – including sabotaging of goods and production stoppages – causing significant financial and reputational damage.

"We receive numerous requests from customers to gain visibility and control of the security in the OT networks, and we welcome SCADAfence as our partner to close this gap," said Dan Sarel, Demisto's Co-founder and Vice President of Products. "We can now offer a solution that unifies security incident handling across IT and OT networks, protecting critical production processes."

"The partnership will enable our customers to leverage the power of Demisto's Enterprise platform and benefit from integration with a wide range of security tools – to enforce the security policy according to the actions recommended by SCADAfence CNM's monitoring and alerting functions," concluded Tom Thirer, SCADAfence's Vice President of Product Management.

SCADAfence is showcasing the joint solution at this year's SPS-IPC Drive show in Nuremberg, in Hall 5, Booth 456, today through Thursday, November 29.
