OPSWAT OT Security
Critical Infrastructure Protection.
Overview
OPSWAT's approach to OT security is centered on Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) and preventing threats at the perimeter and on transient devices. Their platform includes solutions like MetaDefender Kiosk for scanning removable media (USB drives, laptops), MetaDefender ICAP Server for scanning network traffic, and NetWall for secure, unidirectional data transfer. The focus is on threat prevention and content disarm and reconstruction (CDR) to ensure no malicious files enter the secure OT zone.
✨ Key Features
- Threat Prevention Platform
- Removable Media Security (MetaDefender Kiosk)
- Content Disarm and Reconstruction (Deep CDR)
- Multiscanning with over 30 anti-malware engines
- Unidirectional Data Diodes (NetWall)
- Proactive Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Industry-leading Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) technology
- Multiscanning technology that leverages dozens of anti-malware engines for higher detection rates
- Comprehensive solution for securing all data and device entry points into an OT network
Unique Value: Provides a zero-trust approach to data, assuming all incoming files are malicious and sanitizing them before they can enter the critical OT environment, effectively preventing file-based attacks.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Setting up a secure kiosk for scanning all contractor laptops and USB drives before they connect to the OT network
- Using CDR to sanitize all incoming files, removing any potential embedded threats
- Using a data diode to securely transfer data out of the OT network
