TLDR: Secure Infrastructure for Data Center OT Networks

BlastWave builds secure data center OT networks, protecting critical infrastructure like power, cooling, and environmental controls. It hides sensitive systems, ensures only authorized access with strong, passwordless security, and segments the network to contain breaches. This means less risk of disruptions, data loss, and costly downtime, ensuring your data center's continuous and reliable operation.

Securing Data Center OT Networks with BlastWave

Data centers, the backbone of modern digital infrastructure, rely on complex Operational Technology (OT) networks to manage power, cooling, environmental controls, and physical security. These systems are increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks, posing significant risks to data integrity, uptime, and operational continuity. BlastWave provides a robust Zero Trust security solution designed to protect these critical networks, ensuring data center infrastructure's reliable and secure operation.

How BlastWave Fortifies Data Center OT Networks:

Network Cloaking for Critical Infrastructure

BlastWave's network cloaking technology renders sensitive OT systems, including power distribution units (PDUs), cooling systems, and environmental sensors, invisible to unauthorized users. This proactively prevents reconnaissance and eliminates potential attack vectors, significantly reducing the attack surface.

Passwordless Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

By eliminating passwords, BlastWave thwarts phishing and credential theft, ensuring only authorized personnel, including government employees and approved contractors, can access sensitive systems. This is crucial for securing remote access and preventing unauthorized control.

Granular Network Segmentation and Microsegmentation

BlastWave enables the creation of secure zones and conduits, isolating critical systems and limiting lateral movement in case of a breach. This is essential for containing the impact of attacks and protecting sensitive operational data.

Secure Remote Monitoring and Control

BlastWave facilitates secure remote access for monitoring and controlling data center infrastructure, enabling efficient maintenance and operational management. Access is strictly controlled, ensuring least privilege and time-limited access, which is crucial for maintaining data center uptime.

Protection Against Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs)

BlastWave's network cloaking and strong authentication capabilities effectively counter advanced persistent threats, including those leveraging AI-driven reconnaissance and social engineering.

Enhanced Operational Uptime and Reliability

By preventing cyberattacks and containing breaches, BlastWave minimizes downtime and ensures data center infrastructure's continuous and reliable operation.

Improved Compliance and Auditing

BlastWave provides comprehensive audit trails and reporting, simplifying compliance with industry regulations and standards related to data center security.

BlastWave's Zero Trust Approach

BlastWave implements a true Zero Trust architecture, verifying every connection and enforcing least privilege access. Our solution is designed to ease deployment and management, minimizing disruption to existing data center operations. By implementing BlastWave, data center operators and facility managers can significantly enhance their OT security posture, protect their critical systems, and ensure their data center infrastructure's reliable and secure operation.
