Radiflow and Allied Telesis Partner to Enhance Threat Containment & Prevention for OT/ ICS Environments
October 2022 by Marc Jacob
Radiflow announced a partnership with Allied Telesis, a vendor of next-gen software-defined network (SDN) equipment. Building upon Allied Telesis’ Automated Management Framework – Security (AMF-Sec), companies can rapidly detect and quarantine suspicious operations before a full-network breach occurs. The joint solution is extending Allied Telesis cyber security automated response to ICS/OT networks by leveraging the OT-specific anomaly and threat detection capabilities by Radiflow IDS.
Damaging cybersecurity attacks on infrastructure and supply chain OT facilities are having major operational impacts on organisations across the globe. As stories of breaches that shut down manufacturing, medical facilities, and industrial environments make headlines, organisations are hardening their cybersecurity posture beyond regulation to prepare for the inevitable onslaught of ransomware attacks aimed at critical operations. Unfortunately, many of today’s solutions put limitations on cybersecurity practitioners. These can happen by a solution delivering an overwhelming number of alerts, limiting production line operations with overly sensitive firewalls, or not giving teams enough time to respond to a cybersecurity incident.
Most security solutions are only capable of blocking suspicious traffic as it passes through the firewall from the Internet, so only external threats can be detected and blocked. This partnership will isolate traffic at lower levels of the network, preventing threats not only at the border, but also inside the network.
This security and business-first approach, which will be demonstrated at GovWare, allows cybersecurity teams to analyse scenarios before taking appropriate action. Now, Radiflow and Allied Telesis have created an ecosystem to recognise both internal and external threats, as well as unauthorised OT management commands, including breaching remote access security, protocol exploits, and more.
Benefits of Allied Telesis’ Self-Defending Network include:
Automatically respond to threats in real-time
Integrates with your existing firewall
Protects your wired and wireless networks
No endpoint agents or software are required
This partnership will strengthen the cyber security capabilities of critical industrial networks with AT network equipment, enhance OT asset visibility with Radiflow IDS, provide advanced cyber threat detection and allow a minimum time to respond to potential breaches.
