Problem
Industrial control system (ICS) and operational technology (OT) networks face increasing cyber threats due to the convergence of IT and OT, the proliferation of IoT devices, and the need to connect legacy systems with modern infrastructure. Traditional networking approaches lack the inherent security and centralized management required to effectively protect these complex and distributed environments. This leaves critical infrastructure vulnerable to attacks that can disrupt operations, compromise safety, and cause significant financial losses.
Solution
Veracity provides a Software Defined Networking (SDN) platform designed specifically for OT environments, delivering enhanced security, resilience, and simplified network management. The Veracity OT Network Controller and Network Security Appliance work together to create a zero-trust environment through network micro-segmentation, restricting communication to only approved traffic. This approach minimizes the attack surface, isolates critical assets, and contains potential threats, ensuring continuous operation even in the event of a cyber incident. The platform's centralized management capabilities streamline network administration, improve visibility, and facilitate the integration of legacy and IoT devices, all while adhering to cybersecurity best practices.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes organizations in discrete manufacturing, food and beverage, energy, defense, water/wastewater, and other industrial sectors that rely on ICS and OT networks to manage critical infrastructure and production processes.
