Kaspersky is updating its Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity product portfolio: The Kaspersky Security Center now offers a centralized management dashboard for orchestrating all security processes within OT (operational technology) infrastructures.
Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity: New centralized management and transparency in OT infrastructures. This visualizes all geographically distributed assets and enriches them with information on incidents and incident analysis. By integrating Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes and Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks, data on disruptions at endpoints and across the network can be combined in real time. Furthermore, the portfolio now offers defense mechanisms against brute force and exploits in the context of network attacks as well as expanded data bases for vulnerability and patch management.
Visibility of complex IT and OT infrastructures
For two thirds of industrial companies, a lack of visibility and manageability of complex IT and OT infrastructures are among the greatest challenges. In order to be able to protect the infrastructure accordingly and to maintain transparency, you need a uniform platform for the management of security guidelines, protection and information on all security incidents.
Kaspersky Security Center now offers a dedicated dashboard for centralized management of OT infrastructures. In addition to the functions for managing product deployments, updates, licenses and regulations, the console now offers complete visibility into all protected assets, security incidents and incident analyzes. Customers can search for all elements of the infrastructure - including servers or controllers - and their characteristics and display them on a map on which all assets can be set up across different branches. The real-time map highlights all assets that could be affected by an incident. An administrator can then investigate these by clicking on them and going to the respective web console of the server.
Industrial endpoints provide valuable information
To improve customer experience, situational awareness and deployment flexibility, Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks can retrieve important data from industrial endpoints protected with Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes. Security administrators can fully investigate incidents: EPP-enriched incident details, precise detection of asset parameters and network communication cards from segments in which traffic mirroring is not yet available.
Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes also uses an additional blocker to protect against network attacks from port scans, denial-of-service attacks, brute force attacks and threats that exploit weak points or misconfigured applications, services or operating systems. To help customers further reduce the likelihood of security vulnerabilities being compromised by patching them in good time, Kaspersky now provides additional sources in addition to the Kaspersky ICS CERT vulnerability database: National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and US-CERT. Administrators can filter vulnerabilities based on their source and switch off detection from all databases.
Always keep an eye on weak points
“By seamlessly integrating cybersecurity technologies across automation systems, our ultimate goal is to build a reliable ecosystem of solutions that meets the needs of cybersecurity teams responsible for any number of industrial sites,” said Kirill Naboyshchikov, Business Development manager at Kaspersky. “Our strategy is to support our industrial customers at every point in their cybersecurity engineering measures implementation plan to create a scalable and certified security system with unquestionable effectiveness. These updates are Kaspersky's first step in creating an industrial security platform. The key element is a single security dashboard that responds to a variety of needs: from incident monitoring to response, investigation, hunting, orchestration, and automation capabilities to cover the entire geographically distributed environment. This approach will help customers take their OT security to a new level from any starting point.”
