SCADAfence Partners with Keysight Technologies To Provide Visibility and Industrial Cyber Security for OT Infrastructures

SCADAfence | September 23, 2021

SCADAfence, the global leader in cybersecurity for Operational Technology (OT) & Internet of Things (IoT) environments, today announced a partnership with Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology company that delivers advanced design and validation solutions to help accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, to amplify network visibility and cybersecurity to some of the world's most complex OT networks. This new partnership will help organizations gain better control over their industrial environments and detect malicious activities, reducing risk through continuous monitoring and proactive mitigation.

As more critical network infrastructures adopt advanced automation systems to integrate their OT and SCADA technologies, securing the increased attack surface from threats has become more challenging with each attack. Managing these risks has become extremely complicated due to the fact that most OT network environments and devices are not monitored directly by security personnel. Consequently, the Industrial Control System (ICS) networks are harder to monitor and secure as they’re very diverse, and most of the time, they operate with an increased risk of industrial-specific vulnerabilities.

This new partnership between SCADAfence and Keysight will allow organizations to have amplified visibility into OT and IT networks and increased detection and response capabilities in their OT environments. SCADAfence’s non-intrusive platform for deep packet inspection (DPI) together with Keysight’s network test access points (TAPs) and Network Packet Brokers (NPB) solutions will work together to provide complete traffic visibility, security, and asset inventory management in real-time to their industrial customers.Protecting and securing OT environments from security threats and anomalies has become a top priority for the industrial sector and we provide deep packet-level visibility with accurate real-time analytics

Elad Ben-Meir, CEO of SCADAfence. 
 
"We're excited to partner with Keysight Technologies to help industrial organizations leverage both solutions for better visibility and more advanced packet information within OT environments.”

The deployment of SCADAfence and Keysight Technologies together provides increased real-time visibility into OT environments, detailed asset visibility and continuous threat detection for oil and gas facilities, manufacturing sites, water and wastewater environments, automotive, and other industrial infrastructures. With the ability to collect different data across all OT environments, Keysight will be able to provide more actionable insights for customers on the threats affecting their IT environments and SCADAfence will map out the connections between IT and OT to assess the potential impacts to operational environments.

“Critical infrastructures are being targeted more than ever and are facing more security threats in the OT and IoT networks. The mitigation process can take from weeks to possibly months to patch vulnerabilities within the more complex environments,” said Taran Singh, vice president, enterprise solutions, Keysight. “Our joint-partnership with SCADAfence will allow our customers and other industrial organizations to speed up that process from weeks to a few days.”

About SCADAfence:
SCADAfence is the global technology leader in OT & IoT cybersecurity. SCADAfence offers a full suite of industrial cybersecurity products that provides full coverage of large-scale networks, offering best-in-class network monitoring, asset discovery, governance, remote access, and IoT device security.

Keeper Security Launches Multi-Cloud Password Rotation, Enabling Organizations to Update Privileged Credentials Automatically

Prnewswire | May 25, 2023

Keeper Security, the leading provider of cloud-based zero-trust and zero-knowledge cybersecurity software protecting passwords, secrets, connections and privileged access, today announced the launch of password rotation, a new feature that allows organizations to securely rotate service accounts and other privileged credentials on-demand or on an automated schedule. Keeper's new password rotation capability enables organizations to automate the changing and resetting of system credentials including Active Directory service accounts, Azure AD accounts, AWS IAM accounts, SSH keys, database passwords, Windows local users, Linux users, Mac users and more. Password rotation is the latest enhancement to Keeper's next-generation Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution. Recognized as the 2023 Gold Winner by the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards and named Most Comprehensive PAM Solution by the Global Infosec Awards, KeeperPAM is revolutionizing privileged access management by providing comprehensive PAM capabilities including enterprise-grade password, secrets and connection management in one unified platform. With the addition of automated password rotation, KeeperPAM's capabilities continue to grow. KeeperPAM was designed to address the cybersecurity industry's growing demand for modern solutions that are cost-effective, easy to implement and engaging for end users. Keeper's recent Privileged Access Management Survey: User Insights on Cost & Complexity revealed that more than half of all IT and security leaders (56%) have tried to deploy a traditional PAM solution but never fully implemented it. Of those, a staggering 92% said it was because the solution was too complex. Unlike traditional PAM solutions, Keeper's Password Rotation architecture is managed through the cloud-based vault and admin console interface, with a lightweight component that's installed in the customer's cloud and on-prem environment, called the Keeper Gateway service. The Gateway service and Keeper's new multi-cloud routing infrastructure does not require security teams to make any firewall changes, and it uses native protocols for implementing rotation. "Administrative passwords must be updated regularly and automatically to reduce the risk of password-based breaches and cyberattacks. Traditional PAM tools with password rotation capabilities are often expensive and difficult to deploy," said Craig Lurey, CTO and co-founder of Keeper Security. "This leaves organizations that cannot afford or have never fully deployed those solutions vulnerable. We are excited to help minimize this risk with an affordable, modern and elegant solution that protects every user and every device in an organization." Password rotation enables customers to: Automatically rotate credentials for machines, service accounts and user accounts across their infrastructure, and schedule rotations to occur at any time or on-demand. Perform post-rotation actions such as restarting services or running other applications as needed. Securely store all credentials in the Keeper Vault, and control and audit access to credentials. Log all actions to Keeper's Advanced Reporting and Alerts Module (ARAM) and third party SIEM providers. Create compliance reporting on shared privileged accounts. Password Rotation through KeeperPAM is available through the web vault, desktop app for Windows/Mac/Linux and the admin console. The feature enables admins to seamlessly manage rotation for users and records, create gateways, configure cloud environments and enforce least-privilege access. Password Rotation as part of KeeperPAM supports Keeper's zero-knowledge, zero-trust architecture, which always encrypts and decrypts data at the local device level. About Keeper Security Keeper Security is transforming cybersecurity for organizations around the world with next-generation privileged access management. Keeper's zero-trust and zero-knowledge cybersecurity solutions are FedRAMP and StateRAMP Authorized, FIPS 140-2 validated, as well as SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified.
