OT Protection Is Broken — Cloaking Is the Fix

Description

Building a Hidden Network: Why Network Cloaking is the Future of OT Network Protection -

Network Cloaking is a game changer for OT networks, making your network undiscoverable and secure from hackers. This webinar will explain what network cloaking really is, how it works, and provide examples of the benefits to critical infrastructure.

OT networks are under siege — and attackers are using AI to do the dirty work.

You can’t patch your way out. You can’t firewall your way out. And you certainly can’t hide behind “we’re not important enough.”

At BlastWave, we just hosted a webinar that pulled back the curtain on how to actually stop today’s reconnaissance-driven attacks — not just detect them after the damage is done.

Here’s what we showed (with a live demo that made jaws drop):

AI-powered hackers are scanning the internet 24/7. Even honeypot water plants get 1.4 million hits in 90 days. If your OT is online, it’s being targeted.

Firewalls aren’t cloaking. And NAT isn’t cloaking either. Most OT networks are still wide open to scans — even when you think they’re protected.

Joe Baxter fired up Wireshark and showed how a simple Moxa RTU leaks its password in plain text. One click. One capture. That’s all it takes.

Then he flipped the switch — and cloaked the entire network. Devices disappeared. Ping attempts failed. Attacks died before they started.

That’s the power of network cloaking. It’s not just hiding — it’s redefining OT protection from the ground up.

Instead of hardening each asset, you cloak the entire surface.

Instead of hunting every alert, you vanish from view.

Instead of playing catch-up, you disappear from the battlefield.

And here's the kicker: it works without touching your legacy devices or disrupting production. No forklift. No downtime. No re-architecture. Just an instant virtual air gap that gives attackers nothing to see — and nothing to hit.

If you're still relying on perimeter firewalls or hoping no one notices your exposed RTUs… you're playing a dangerous game.

The future isn’t about building bigger walls.

It’s about removing your network from the map entirely.
