fresh water, or the hospital you go to for a checkup is run on equipment that you can't even install antivirus on? It could be a camera, an MRI machine, or a system of actuators, sensors, and valves connected to an ancient computer that monitors how much bacteria there is in the water supply and how to clean it for our consumption. Our modern world is powered by this type of highly specialized equipment. These devices, once deployed, are not often updated, and as a result, many of them have vulnerabilities or fragile, sensitive network stacks. Forescout research for Dairy Labs has shown that these vulnerabilities can be exploited, and the only way to secure them is to understand where they are and partition or segment them on your network so that it only talks to known, good, necessary services. At Forescout, we passively find these and tell you what these devices are and what they're talking to. We selectively probe some of these with safe, active inspections, and this will tell us what these devices are and where they're connected to, and what they're communicating with, so that we can better identify the risks associated with these endpoints and detect any network-based threats. Whether the device is a sensor or an actuator at Purdue level zero, or it's controlling a workstation, Forescout can give you visibility into the entire OT stack and the relationship between these devices. See it, secure it, assure it.
