Problem
Securing Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Operational Technology (OT) environments presents unique challenges due to the deterministic nature and potential for physical disruption, differing from traditional IT systems focused on data exfiltration. Existing cybersecurity solutions often lack the specific capabilities to address the distinct vulnerabilities and compliance requirements of critical infrastructure. The increasing frequency and scope of cyberattacks targeting OT systems demand improved cybersecurity measures to prevent physical damage and service disruptions.
Solution
Zuul provides a risk-based cybersecurity platform designed to protect critical infrastructure by focusing on asset classes that underpin essential business functions, including people, servers, devices, and networks. The platform offers a 360-degree view of the IIoT/OT environment, enabling proactive and reactive protection, reducing false positives, and facilitating rapid threat response. Zuul's orchestration capabilities improve agility, simplify security and compliance, and provide compensating controls to address security gaps. The platform employs a standards-based, zero-trust architecture aligned with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and offers both proactive and reactive security options.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes organizations in transportation, smart building automation, and industrial control systems that require robust cybersecurity solutions to protect their critical infrastructure.
