In response to rising threats against critical infrastructure, Radiflow, a leader in Operations Technology (OT) cybersecurity and risk management solutions, has partnered with Garland Technology, a pioneer in scalable network test access points (TAPs) and Data Diodes, to deliver an exceptional OT security solution. This collaboration combines Radiflow’s expertise in OT cybersecurity with Garland’s packet visibility technology to deliver a cost-effective, enhanced, end-to-end security solution for critical infrastructure and industrial plants.
Nation-state threat actors are increasingly focusing their attention on disrupting industrial processes and critical infrastructure. Radiflow and Garland’s partnership helps operators detect anomalies in network behaviour and communications that might be indicators of compromise. Garland’s network TAPs capture every communication packet and send a copy to Radiflow’s OT Security Platform for prompt analysis. As anomalies are detected, Radiflow’s platform automatically alerts stakeholders and security personnel of a potential cyber-attack, so that they can respond effectively.
“We are very pleased to be partnering with Garland,” said Ilan Barda, Founder and CEO of Radiflow. “Their solution enables our customers to see and monitor every network event without requiring expensive investment in intrusive switches. The partnership helps put our customers on track toward NIS2 and IEC 62443 compliance.”
“Garland Technology has been involved in critical infrastructure projects since 2011 when we designed our first Data Diode TAP for a customer,” addded Chris Bihary, CEO and Co-founder. “Since then, we’ve been building network visibility products to help provide technologies like Radiflow’s OT Security Platform the packet-level visibility needed to protect the world’s most critical assets. This exciting solution takes replicated data from our network TAPs and Data Diodes and turns it into actionable insights that facilitate precise threat detection. Together, we’ve simplified network management and security operations in closed and segregated environments that still use old and legacy network equipment while enhancing overall control and visibility.”
The collaboration between Radiflow and Garland Technology ensures complete data capture of all network transactions, enabling effective anomaly detection. This facilitates precise threat detection and reduces false positives through uninterrupted data analysis. Additionally, it maintains network performance and uptime with secured data streaming.
The joint solution is highly flexible. It adapts to a variety of network configurations and can scale seamlessly with infrastructure changes. Security teams can monitor multiple environments from a single centralised dashboard.
This technology partnership underscores Radiflow and Garland’s commitment to OT security, as they empower operators of cyber physical systems (CPS) with the tools and insights necessary to defend against today and tomorrow’s cyber threats. This partnership delivers a cost-effective approach to enhanced security, while creating a clear path toward compliance with industry standards, such as NIS 2 and IEC 62443. Customers can operate their OT environments with full confidence that they are protected from current and future threats.
