Real Insights, Real-time Responses to IoT Security Risks.

Smart factories and other manufacturing facilities play a critical role in today’s society.

Robotics and smart sensors use broad-spectrum wireless and cellular to communicate, therefore new visibility is required to detect, assess, and prevent risk.

Only through Wireless Airspace Defense is it possible to accomplish predictive IoT analytics and insights for a best practice and secure network.

80% of new IoT deployments in Manufacturing are now being connected via wireless, yet many companies are still using wired-centric security approaches which are ineffective in securing mission-critical devices and networks.

Many existing solutions fail to provide advanced M2M behavior insights including the first line of defense, an alert notification for any deviation of policy; or the second line of defense, which is proactively identifying IoT vulnerabilities prior to loss or incident occurring.

Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities of Wireless Manufacturing Systems

Rogue Cell Towers

Attacks on cell towers being attacked from unauthorized devices

Evil Twin Attacks

Unauthorized devices connecting to authorized Wi-Fi Access Points

Roaming

Monitor potential data exfiltration against traffic base line to flag malware and bots.

Device Threats

Malware, Firmware Hacks, Sensor IoT
Compromises, Man In the Middle Attacks, Device Tampering

AirShield for Manufacturing: Business Benefits

 

Asset Inventory & Visibility

You can’t defend what you can’t see. Therefore, it is crucial to Implement a solution that is dynamically in-tune with your ever-changing OT environment, particularly as IoT converges with OT. With AirShield, you can detect, assess, and prevent risk across your mission-critical manufacturing environments.

 

Proactive Vulnerability Assessment

Identify and fix unacceptable wireless OT vulnerability exposure states prior to loss or incident occurring. As per the Gartner Market Guide for Operational Technology Security, risk analysis and mitigation is crucial to detect anomalous behaviors and remediate vulnerabilities in dynamic OT environments.

Deploy and Scale Easily

With cloud-based configuration and management, AirShield scales easily to meet the needs of your organization. Get real-time insights across multiple cellular carriers and regions for OT assets and more.

Financial Losses

With broad-spectrum OT and cellular enablement proliferating in many OT environments, you can implement effective cost management and performance monitoring with Wireless Airspace Defense.
