Problem
Industrial organizations face challenges in monitoring and securing their critical infrastructure environments due to the complexity and diversity of OT networks, which often lack comprehensive visibility and are vulnerable to cyber threats. Traditional hardware-dependent security solutions are often cost-prohibitive and difficult to deploy across distributed sites, leaving gaps in real-time threat detection and incident response.
Solution
EmberOT provides a software-based platform for continuous monitoring and defense of critical infrastructure, offering immediate observability, threat detection, and actionable insights to enhance resilience. The solution uses lightweight, pure-software sensors that can be deployed on existing infrastructure, eliminating the need for costly hardware upgrades. These sensors capture and curate data at the edge, providing real-time visibility into assets, vulnerabilities, and network activity. The platform integrates with existing SIEM, SOAR, and MSSP tools, enabling operators, engineers, and defenders to proactively address potential risks and protect industrial systems across various sectors, including electric utilities, manufacturing, and industrial IoT.
Target Audience
EmberOT targets operators, engineers, and defenders in critical infrastructure sectors such as electric utilities, manufacturing, oil & gas, and industrial IoT, who need to secure their OT environments, improve real-time threat detection, and meet regulatory compliance requirements.
