How we are different

Our customers tell us the Bayshore IT/OT Gateway has three significant market advantages beyond security:
1. Visibility
By deploying at the IT/OT convergence point, the Gateway captures all network flows, providing a complete security picture. It is able to provide IT departments with unprecedented visibility into and control of their OT environments. Simultaneously, it provides OT departments with access to IT applications such as advanced analytics, which were previously not accessible.
2. Control
The Bayshore IT/OT Gateway provides extremely granular content inspection at Layers 3, 4 and 7, which is necessary for OT control, OT content filtering, network segmentation, and machine isolation. It can filter OT traffic to identify the actual machine operations commands and transaction values.
3. Scalability
The Bayshore policy language is state-of-the-art. It is XML-based for easy extensibility, which enables it to quickly adapt to any proprietary protocol in an IT or OT environment. Bayshore offers an expanding library of policies for security, operations, safety and compliance.
Because there will be tens of billions of connected devices by 2020, M2M communications in the IoT will require a massively scalable cybersecurity platform. Today’s IT perimeter-based security platforms, which were designed for enterprise computing and not machine communications, will not scale.
The Bayshore IT/OT Gateway™ was designed from the ground-up to protect OT machines in converged IT/OT environments. With its extensive domain knowledge of industrial protocols and applications, Bayshore protects industrial machines, machine transactions, and machine users.
