Wireless devices are becoming more and more common. This increases the number of access points through which attackers can penetrate networks. A new wireless multi-spectrum sensor can provide greater security.
Nozomi Networks introduces Guardian Air, the industry's only wireless spectrum sensor designed specifically for OT and IoT environments. With 80 percent of new IoT deployments, wireless connections are quickly becoming the preferred network type. The explosion of wirelessly connected devices increases the number of potential access points and likely misuse of networks. This puts critical infrastructures at risk of cyberattacks and business interruptions.
Sensor monitors many wireless frequencies
Guardian Air provides much-needed visibility into wireless devices, even when they have no connection to a wired network. The sensor monitors numerous wireless frequencies, not just Bluetooth or classic WLAN. This gives security teams an instant overview of connected sensors, devices, laptops and mobile phones. With Guardian Air, customers have a comprehensive network solution in an integrated platform.
“Nozomi Networks continues to innovate to meet the monitoring needs of wireless OT and IoT environments,” said Danielle VanZandt, industry manager for commercial and public safety research at Frost & Sullivan. “From smart manufacturing to digital medicine, building automation to advanced oil production, industrial companies today rely on billions of wireless devices to accelerate production and time to market. Guardian Air gives IT security professionals and OT operators the insights they need to manage and respond to wireless network risks.”
With Guardian Air, IT security professionals and OT operators can:
- Continuously monitor well-known wireless frequency technologies used in OT and IoT environments, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Cellular, LoRaWAN, Zigbee, GPS, Drone RF Protocols, WirelessHART and more,
- Instantly detect and obtain information about wirelessly connected devices to address unauthorized installations,
- Detect radio-specific threats, including brute force attacks, spoofing and bluejacking - with the added ability to determine the location of the devices carrying out the attacks,
- Seamlessly integrate wireless data into an OT and IoT security platform, providing a unified view of all devices across wired and wireless networks.
Minimize wireless network risks
“Wireless technologies are fundamentally changing the way businesses operate. Unfortunately, they also massively increase the attack surface,” comments Andrea Carcano, co-founder and chief product officer of Nozomi Networks. “Guardian Air solves this problem by giving customers the insights they need to minimize risk and maximize resilience to their wireless networks. The sensor can be easily integrated into the Nozomi Networks Vantage platform. This enables customers to manage wireless networks, devices and wireless connections via one platform. This ensures the greatest possible visibility across the entire network, reliable threat detection and AI-powered analytics for real-time security management and remediation.”
The Nozomi Guardian Air wireless sensor will be available this spring through Nozomi Networks and its extensive global network of distribution partners.
