Problem
Legacy industrial control systems (ICS) often lack modern cybersecurity protections, making them vulnerable to cyber-physical attacks that can disrupt operations, damage equipment, and endanger lives. Traditional cybersecurity solutions are not designed to monitor serial communications, leaving a critical blind spot in the security posture of critical infrastructure.
Solution
Cynalytica's SerialGuard AnalytICS Platform provides passive monitoring of serial communications within ICS environments, enhancing cybersecurity and operational visibility for legacy infrastructure. The platform detects operational irregularities and cyber-physical incidents early in the attack chain, reducing downtime and improving compliance. By passively tapping into level 0/1 serial communications, SerialGuard provides true visibility into cyber-physical processes without disrupting operations. The AnalytICS Engine offers a high-performance and scalable analytical and intrusion detection platform for analog, serial, and TCP/IP ICS network data.
Target Audience
The primary customers are operators of critical infrastructure, including water and wastewater treatment facilities, and other industrial organizations that rely on legacy ICS equipment.
