Hardware-based protection for OT and industrial control systems, built on government-grade anti-tamper modules — no patches, no software to hack, no downtime. New Star is the authorized Factory Representative for Blueskytec's ICS Protect series of network protectors.
Most security starts after something has gone wrong: detect the intrusion, then respond. Blueskytec's ICS Protect series of network protectors starts earlier, putting the defense in the hardware itself, where there's no software to hack and no IP address for an attacker to ping.
Built on government-grade anti-tamper modules, so the protection is part of the hardware itself rather than software layered on top.
Known-answer-test verification runs at the silicon level, with data flowing peer to peer between protectors. The design is built to resist AI-driven and quantum attacks.
The protectors have no IP address and no MAC address, so a ping can't get past the device. Your network stays dark to anyone probing from outside.
Each appliance comes with roughly 10 trillion quantum-generated keys pre-positioned for one-time pad encryption.
A built-in rules engine and 16 micro-channels support microsegmentation, so traffic stays separated and controlled inside your network.
Gartner projects that by 2030, preemptive cybersecurity solutions will account for 50% of IT security spending, up from less than 5% in 2024, replacing standalone detection and response as the preferred way to defend against cyberthreats. New Star brings preemptive protection to OT and industrial networks today, through Blueskytec.

Because the protection lives in the hardware, there's no security software to patch, update, or keep current. Your team installs the protector and gets back to running the site.
Why protection built into hardware holds up where software-only defenses can't.
