BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Cyber attacks on operational environ­

ments threaten two key metrics: safety

and productivity. Asset owners, system

operators and system integrators need to

protect against these threats to ensure

operational safety and maximum uptime.

SOLUTION

OpShield is an OT cyber security solution

that delivers visibility across complex OT

networks, enforces OT policy at the

protocol command level and deploys

with minimal or no operational

disruption. OpShield monitors and

blocks malicious activity and unintended

disruptions to promote OT safety and

protect productivity.

BENEFITS

• Enables safe OT connectivity to protect

people, processes and equipment

• Preserves valuable production uptime

• Protects OT efficiently, even with

limited security staff and resources

OpShield: Security Solution for Operational Technology EnvironmentsAs many organizations are discovering, the Industrial Internet

is a huge new opportunity for growth and efficiency. To realize

this value, operational technology (OT) environments need to

be connected.

With production systems becoming more interconnected, the

exposure to cyber incidents increases. Attacks and disruptions

on critical infrastructure put reputation, production, people,

and profits at risk.

Wurldtech specializes in OT security solutions that support

growth and efficiency gained from the Industrial Internet. Its

security products and services enable customers to identify

and mitigate threats. And specifically, OpShield protects

organizations from malicious activity and other disruptions

that cause downtime, physical damage or harm to people.

Solution Brief

ChallengeThe number of attacks to critical infrastructure continues to

climb. As reported by a 2014 Unisys and Ponemon study, 67% of

companies with critical infrastructure suffered at least one attack

in the past year. In addition, 78% of organizations fully expect to be

successfully attacked within the next two years. Attacks on critical

infrastructure such as oil & gas, power generation, transportation

and others can lead to devastating consequences in the economic,

political, personal, public safety and privacy arenas.

Therefore, system operators are under tremendous pressure

to ensure security precautions are in place to protect their

critical infrastructure.

System operators are challenged in responding to the growing

number of security threats they face in today’s environment.

Specifically, system operators need a solution to promote safety

and protect productivity. In addition, the solution must address

the following challenges when working through the operator’s

security strategy:

• OT protocols can easily be manipulated to disrupt

critical systems

• ICS/SCADA equipment has unaddressed vulnerabilities

• OT networks are hard to segment without critical network

reconfiguration and disruption

• There is limited or no visibility into threats and exploits

• Organizations face a lack of dedicated cyber expertise

T E S T I M O N I A L“We are very pleased to be working with

Wurldtech to protect our critical systems

around the world. They have unmatched

expertise and experience in this domain

and are a true solutions provider

advocating a functional methodology

and approach instead of a single product…

Wurldtech’s products and services are

trusted and integrated throughout our

global operations.”

SolutionOpShield is a security solution designed to protect critical

infrastructure, control systems and operational technology (OT)

assets. The solution provides protection from cyber threats and

vulnerabilities in operational environments, and delivers

defense­in­depth for oil & gas, power generation,

transportation, healthcare and other industries. OpShield

monitors and blocks malicious activity and misconfiguration

to promote OT safety and protect productivity.

OpShield combines the protection of an OT protocol inspection

engine, threat and vulnerability signatures and non­disruptive

network segmentation.

To simplify security administration, the graphical user interface

is designed for ease­of­use. It allows users to efficiently

manage security policy and vulnerability signatures, including

breakthrough drag­and­drop virtual zoning for network

segmentation without disrupting production. OpShield also

offers full security visibility of the OT network and integration

with SIEM tools.

Features

• Inspects and controls OT protocol traffic down to the

command level

• Monitors industrial protocols and delivers security alerts to

the management console and 3rd party SIEM tools

• Enforces security policy across the OT network

• Segments the OT network via drag­and­drop virtual zoning

without OT network configuration changes

• Simplifies security administration with easy to use graphical

interfaces—no CLI required

• Protects control systems and assets with minimal or no

production disruption

• Secures the OT network with vulnerability signatures and

OT threat intelligence

Benefits

• Enables safe OT connectivity to protect people, processes

and equipment

• Preserves valuable production uptime

• Protects OT efficiently, even with limited security staff

and resources
