NERC CIP Security Assessment Secures OT Remote Operations at XONA

XONA | April 26, 2021

XONA, the world's initial zero-trust distant activities stage for basic foundation, was discovered agreeable with NERC CIP appraisal, including an engineering survey, gadget survey, and counterfeit review.

Cybersecurity has taken on restored significance in 2021 as organizations progressively depend on distant admittance to screen, survey, and connect with basic OT framework. This the truth was on full presentation in February 2021 when a programmer distantly got to a water treatment framework in Oldsmar, Florida, highlighting the potential weaknesses related with far off activities limit.

XONA NERC CIP Compliance Demonstrates Readiness to Secure Against Cybersecurity Risks at Crucial Time

Understanding the centrality of cybersecurity while sending distant tasks limit, XONA's review shows the organization's digital preparation.

XONA's CSG apparatus was evaluated from both an inspector's and SCADA designer's points of view. Simultaneously, manual and robotized checking was performed to gather, recognize, and examine potential weaknesses that may affect NERC CIP consistence and data security pose.

Moreover, XONA mentioned an arrangement and approach assessment, guaranteeing that the organization's inner conventions are reliable with progressing consistence orders. Securicon discovered XONA agreeable with necessities surveyed and tracked down no basic high, medium, or okay weaknesses identified with the XONA CSG.

Regions and Critical Infrastructures Expanding Remote Operations Rely on XONA as Secure, Compliant Solution

"We are eager to impart our consistence confirmation to our clients. This certificate mirrors the XONA group's diligent effort and our persistent obligation to ensuring our clients' IT framework," clarifies Bill Moore, author and CEO of XONA.

He adds, "As districts and other basic framework OT administrators seek after or grow far off activities abilities, we need to routinely show that XONA is a protected, secure arrangement."

Continuous financial vulnerability and restricted admittance to cybersecurity faculty makes it more significant than any other time that basic framework tasks can depend on distant activities answers for secure their OT climate.

To find out about XONA's client access arrangement worked for OT that sets these exercises in motion, plan a demo.

NordLocker introduces easier secure sharing option

Globenewswire | May 26, 2023

NordLocker has launched a new feature that allows users to securely share a password-protected locker, otherwise known as a folder, of files. In order to receive the sent files, the recipient doesn’t even need to be a NordLocker user. This convenient sharing feature is incredibly easy to use. The files are shared via a link, and the recipient needs a password to access the files. For security purposes, once the set expiration date passes, the link becomes inaccessible. Thanks to NordLocker’s end-to-end encryption, files are fully protected throughout their journey. “Whether it’s holiday videos or a client contract – here at NordLocker we believe that all files should be shared securely. With this new feature, we make secure sharing that much easier,” says Aivaras Vencevicius, head of product at NordLocker. Currently, this feature is available on NordLocker’s web application.

NordLocker’s customer support can only see it if the user decides to share it with the NordLocker team. “With cybercrime rising every year, file encryption is becoming essential. We see that threats are becoming more sophisticated – phishing emails are becoming harder to detect, and malware is becoming more dangerous and advanced. Therefore I strongly recommend to treat your digital belongings just like you’d treat your physical assets – keep them locked up and secure,” says Aivaras Vencevicius, head of product at NordLocker.
