AI-resistant OT Network safeguard

TLDR: Secure Infrastructure for Manufacturing

BlastShield secures manufacturing networks, especially for IEC 62443 compliance, acting like a digital force field. It hides critical systems, segments your network into secure zones and conduits, and verifies every connection. This stops hackers from disrupting production, stealing data, and causing costly downtime, ensuring your operations run smoothly and securely. It keeps your network secure and operational, delivering a ROI that exceeds traditional cybersecurity solutions.

Manufacturing OT Networks with BlastWave

BlastWave provides a comprehensive Zero Trust security solution to protect manufacturing Operational Technology (OT) networks from evolving cyber threats. Our platform empowers manufacturers to achieve robust security while maintaining operational efficiency and ensuring compliance with industry standards like IEC 62443.

Key Benefits of BlastWave for Manufacturing OT:

Network Cloaking for Hidden Assets

BlastWave's network cloaking technology renders critical OT devices and systems invisible to unauthorized users and external threats. This effectively removes them from the attack surface, protecting legacy equipment and vulnerable systems that cannot be patched.

Zero Trust Segmentation & Microsegmentation

BlastWave enables granular network segmentation and microsegmentation, allowing manufacturers to create secure zones and conduits as defined by IEC 62443. This limits lateral movement, contains breaches, and protects critical assets from unauthorized access.

Passwordless Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

BlastWave eliminates the vulnerabilities associated with traditional passwords by implementing passwordless MFA. This ensures only authorized personnel can access the network, preventing credential theft and phishing attacks.

Secure Remote Access for Third-Party Maintenance

BlastWave facilitates secure remote access for third-party contractors and vendors, allowing them to perform maintenance tasks without compromising network security. Access is strictly controlled through passwordless MFA and segmentation, ensuring least privilege and time-limited access.

Protection Against AI-Powered Attacks

BlastWave's network cloaking and strong authentication capabilities effectively counter AI-powered reconnaissance and phishing attacks, preventing attackers from gathering information and exploiting vulnerabilities.

Simplified Compliance with IEC 62443

BlastWave's platform provides the necessary security controls to achieve and maintain compliance with IEC 62443. This simplifies the compliance process and ensures manufacturing networks meet industry best practices.

Operational Continuity & Reduced Downtime

By preventing cyberattacks and limiting the impact of breaches, BlastWave helps ensure operational continuity and minimize costly downtime. This allows manufacturers to maintain production schedules and meet customer demands.

BlastWave's Zero Trust Approach

BlastWave implements a true Zero Trust architecture, assuming no user or device is inherently trustworthy. We verify every connection, enforce least privilege access, and continuously monitor network activity to detect and respond to threats in real-time. Our solution is designed to be easy to deploy and manage, minimizing disruption to existing operations.

By implementing BlastWave, manufacturers can strengthen their OT security posture, protect their critical assets, and ensure their facilities' continuous and secure operation in the face of evolving cyber threats.
