Overview

We depend on the energy sector every day, from Oil and Natural Gas to the nuclear facilities that power our grids. Threats to this sector include potentially malicious content on transient devices that are used to transfer data in and out of air-gapped networks, which could jeopardize the safety and reliability of the physical systems needed to keep the industry running smoothly and can cause mass disruption – making it paramount to protect the critical assets that these industries run on.

OPSWAT offers advanced end-to-end threat prevention and detection solutions and zero-trust technologies that enable safe and compliant usage of removable media and transient devices. To start, MetaDefender Kiosks help prevent employees, contractors and visitors from introducing threats into facilities. OPSWAT MetaDefender Kiosks act as digital security guards at entry and exit points – scanning, sanitizing, and ingesting files from all removable media at the point of entry, providing safe transport of the file into the OT environment. We do this by leveraging our patented, industry leading Deep CDR, multiscanning with 30+ AV engines to achieve 99% threat detection, and country of origin detection to ensure that that file is safe to use. Not only does this create digital perimeter control, but it enforces secure data transfer processes and offers proactive visibility and control of sensitive data at every transfer point.

Energy customers also leverage OPSWAT’s MetaDefender Vault for secure file storage and retrieval, allowing approved access to sanitized files within the network. This offers outbreak prevention, secure data flow processes, and even more visibility and control.

OPSWAT zero-trust solutions for transient assets and files not only help the energy sector comply with industry regulations but help prevent breaches, protect against malicious devices, and secure multiple content and device delivery routes.
