Most OT security is reactive: detect an intrusion, then respond. Blueskytec's ICS Protect series of network protectors is built to stop the attack before it starts, with the protection in the hardware rather than in software that has to be kept current.
Waits for a threat to appear, then detects and responds. Depends on patches, updates, and staff keeping up with each new vulnerability.
Hardware-enforced protection with no software to hack, no IP or MAC address to target, and quantum-generated one-time pad encryption with roughly 10 trillion keys pre-positioned on each appliance.
ICS Protect has been through multi-year testing with the US Navy, including third-party testing at the Lockheed Martin test range, and evaluation by the UK Ministry of Defence.
In lab testing, ICS Protect stopped internal malware in networks that had already been compromised.
ICS Protect defeated Volt Typhoon and Pipedream, two malware campaigns built specifically to target critical infrastructure and industrial control systems.
Blueskytec protectors come with a 10-year hardware warranty and an estimated useful life of 10 to 15 years. Each appliance is pre-loaded with roughly 10 trillion one-time encryption keys, so the keys won't run out before the hardware does — a timeline that fits OT equipment that stays in service for decades, without a software subscription to renew along the way.
Why protection built into hardware holds up where software-only defenses can't.
