Stop OT Attacks Before They Can Start

What is BlastShield?

BlastShield is a zero-trust network access solution that helps organizations implement a zero-trust architecture.

Instead of relying on enhanced identity governance (EIG), complex layers of micro-segmentation, or cloud-based gateways, BlastShield utilizes a software-defined perimeter (SDP) approach for more granular access controls and reduced risk from stolen credentials and complex management.

BlastShield Authenticator: Passwordless Authentication

Our passwordless authenticator puts the power of biometrics and your mobile device directly into your hands. It's security that's as natural as unlocking your phone. We understand the frustration of constantly changing passwords and the vulnerability of those easily stolen credentials. Authentication is performed by combining a QR code challenge-response with localized biometric authentication and the device keystore to prevent credential theft and AI-powered attacks, requiring a human-in-the-loop. IOS and Android are supported.

BlastAccess: Secure Remote Desktop Connectivity in 5 Minutes

If your business requires tightly managed remote desktop connectivity with session recording for remote access, BlastAccess delivers this functionality with high performance. Leveraging the same phishing-resistant authentication protection as the BlastShield client, BlastAccess eliminates the weaknesses of PAM and web-based RDP solutions by removing open ports and preventing browser hijacking and password theft. Session recording streams desktop activity to a storage system, providing security, forensics, and audit logging for all remote maintenance activities.

What is BlastShield?

BlastShield is BlastWave’s Zero Trust network access solution for OT environments. It uses a software-defined perimeter approach to help organizations reduce risk from stolen credentials, simplify access control, cloak critical systems, secure remote access, and segment OT networks.

How does BlastShield help stop OT attacks before they start?

BlastShield helps stop OT attacks before they start by requiring authentication and authorization before users or devices can access protected systems. It combines network cloaking, phishing-resistant access, secure remote connectivity, and software-defined segmentation to reduce exposure and limit lateral movement.

What is the BlastShield Security Gateway?

The BlastShield Security Gateway is a hardware-independent software package that can be installed in a VM, container, or pre-installed appliance. It delivers network cloaking, terminates secure remote access connections, and uses software-defined segmentation to secure OT networks.

What is the BlastShield Client?

The BlastShield Client is a Zero Trust client for secure OT connectivity. It supports Windows, Mac, and Linux, allowing authorized users to connect securely to approved OT systems without disrupting existing operations.

What is the BlastShield Authenticator?

The BlastShield Authenticator provides passwordless authentication using a QR code challenge-response, localized biometric authentication, and the device keystore. It is designed to prevent credential theft, phishing, and AI-powered attacks while keeping a human in the loop.

What is BlastAccess?

BlastAccess is BlastWave’s secure remote desktop connectivity solution. It provides high-performance remote access with session recording, while removing open ports and reducing risks from browser hijacking, password theft, PAM weaknesses, and web-based RDP exposure.

What does the BlastShield Agent do?

The BlastShield Agent helps secure servers by requiring a verified BlastShield client before a connection can be made. It supports Windows, Mac, and Linux and helps turn protected servers into Zero Trust-controlled assets.

What does the BlastShield Orchestrator do?

The BlastShield Orchestrator manages real-time policy enforcement across the network. It can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud and helps ensure users and devices connect only to the systems they are authorized to access.

How does BlastShield support network cloaking?

BlastShield supports network cloaking by requiring users and devices to authenticate and authorize before access is granted. This helps make protected systems non-discoverable to unauthorized users and reduces the value of reconnaissance.

How does BlastShield support OT network segmentation?

BlastShield supports OT network segmentation through software-defined access controls that divide the network into isolated segments. This limits lateral movement and helps contain the impact of a breach.

How to Start Securing OT Networks with BlastShield

BlastShield helps OT teams move from exposed, flat, password-dependent networks to a Zero Trust architecture built around network cloaking, phishing-resistant authentication, secure remote access, and software-defined segmentation.

Step 1: Identify the OT Systems That Need Protection

Start by identifying the HMIs, PLCs, RTUs, engineering workstations, servers, remote access paths, and vendor connections that need stronger access control. Focus first on systems that are visible, business-critical, difficult to patch, or exposed to remote users.

Step 2: Deploy the BlastShield Security Gateway

Install the BlastShield Security Gateway as a VM, container, or certified appliance. The gateway provides network cloaking, terminates secure remote access connections, and enforces software-defined segmentation for protected OT systems.

Step 3: Add the BlastShield Client for Secure Connectivity

Install the BlastShield Client on approved user devices. This allows authorized personnel to connect securely to the specific OT resources they need while avoiding broad network exposure and unnecessary lateral access.

Step 4: Enable Passwordless Authentication

Use the BlastShield Authenticator to replace password-based access with phishing-resistant authentication. QR code challenge-response, localized biometrics, and device keystore protection help prevent credential theft and AI-powered phishing attacks.

Step 5: Secure Remote Desktop Access with BlastAccess

For remote maintenance workflows, use BlastAccess to provide controlled remote desktop connectivity with session recording. This gives teams secure access while supporting forensics, audit logging, and remote maintenance oversight.

Step 6: Protect Servers with the BlastShield Agent

Install the BlastShield Agent on supported servers so only verified BlastShield clients can connect. This helps protect critical systems from unauthorized access and reduces the risk of exposed services becoming attack paths.

Step 7: Use the Orchestrator to Enforce Access Policies

Configure the BlastShield Orchestrator to manage access policies in real time. Define which users, devices, and groups can reach specific systems, and keep access aligned with operational needs.

Step 8: Segment the OT Network to Limit Lateral Movement

Use BlastShield’s software-defined segmentation to isolate critical systems and reduce the blast radius of a breach. Users should receive least-privilege access only to the systems they are authorized to use.

Step 9: Validate That Protected Systems Are No Longer Exposed

After deployment, test whether unauthorized users, scanners, or tools can still discover or reach protected OT systems. The goal is to confirm that critical infrastructure is cloaked, segmented, and accessible only through authorized BlastShield workflows.
