Applying Zero Trust to OT Systems with Microsegmentation
Operational technology (OT) attacks are on the rise. Ransomware attacks against industrial organizations are increasing, defying a declining trend in malware as attackers continue to exploit legacy technology in the manufacturing industry. Meanwhile, the number of ransomware groups impacting OT/Industrial Control Systems (ICS) is growing. In other words, OT is no longer a niche target.
But it’s not just the manufacturing floor in hackers’ crosshairs: while the vulnerable nature of OT environments makes them an appealing destination for attackers, most attacks targeting OT systems start as IT breaches. To secure critical systems in an era of rising OT threats, organizations need to tightly segment their networks and prevent lateral movement across environments.
Download this guide for a comprehensive breakdown of the importance of OT segmentation, typical OT security barriers, and how unified OT/IT microsegmentation supports a resilient Zero Trust architecture.
"When I first saw Zero Networks, I walked away saying, this is too good to be true. When we put it in production, it was like a dream came true."
"My first impression was, it is too good to be true. The ease of deployment was shocking to me. It’s a simple and elegant solution to a very difficult problem."
"Zero Networks has become a core component of our security stack. It is something that we cannot live without any longer."
"Zero Networks is a game changer. The military-grade security it delivers across segmentation, access, and user rights, makes it a new cornerstone technology."
"I had to see it to believe it. The product was up and running in 15 minutes, it’s set it and forget it, and gives me peace of mind."
"When we ran pen tests before Zero Networks, attackers would get in within 5 minutes. Now, they cannot move laterally. It's a superb tool."
"We were having problems stopping some of the traffic in a pen test. Once we had Zero Networks in play, we were able to stop these activities."
"After [implementing] Zero Networks, we were able to lock down endpoints both on the server and on the laptops, our attack surface has decreased... incredibly."
