Typically, managers in industrial environments need to focus on the yield, safety and reliability of production lines that utilize decades-old capital equipment. Securing these production tools using proprietary protocols and legacy technologies is costly, tedious and requires continuous effort.
The NextNine solution enables IT teams to manage their industrial cyber security in three automated steps: 1. Deploy secure outbound connectivity between remote sites and the headquarters 2. Create a full inventory through discovery of all assets and their configurations 3. Secure operation of the assets (e.g. patching and antivirus updates, violation alarms, compliance reporting)
