Overview
In numerous industrial OT environments, the flat network structure coupled with widespread use of basic username/password credentials poses a significant security challenge. These environments often lack adequate internal security measures, leaving critical OT assets vulnerable to unauthorized access and misuse.
MetaDefender Industrial Firewall & IPS serves as a pivotal defense mechanism, prioritizing the protection of vital OT hardware. By implementing meticulously detailed device access policies and delineating device access zones, our solution establishes a robust security perimeter within OT networks.
Functioning as an industrial security appliance and intelligent Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), MetaDefender Industrial Firewall & IPS is strategically positioned in front of industrial endpoints. It safeguards mission-critical devices such as PLCs, VFDs, and DCSs, as well as other network-connected assets. Operating seamlessly as a transparent OSI Layer-2 bridge, our solution dynamically learns and enforces the normal operational patterns within your plant environment while actively neutralizing threats in real time.
In essence, MetaDefender Industrial Firewall & IPS fortifies OT networks against potential breaches and malicious activities, ensuring the uninterrupted and secure operation of critical industrial assets.
