The Air Gap: A Double-edged Sword

Endpoints are frequently the target of initial compromise or attacks. It can take just minutes, if not seconds, to compromise the endpoints, putting industrial environments at risk. One recent study found that 30% of breaches involved malware being installed on endpoints.

Operational Technology (OT) endpoints are particularly vulnerable given the legacy technology powering environments like our manufacturing plants, power stations, and other critical infrastructure. Many organizations rely on an air gap for cybersecurity to protect their industrial environments.

Unfortunately, the air gap is a double-edged sword. While it may help insulate and shrink the attack surface, like all prevention measures, it is not 100%.

Join this presentation to explore how you can:

  • Stop breaches and prevent data loss and ransomware damage with no dwell time.
  • Eliminate alert fatigue and optimize operations with customizable, standardized incident response processes.
  • Ensure business continuity in the event of a security incident, keeping systems online.
  • Reduce the cost of legacy EDR solutions, enabling response and remediation without negatively impacting business.
