Do you know what is connected to your network and where all the devices are? Most businesses don’t…or they think they do until they go through Red Trident’s Asset & Network Discovery.
Each device in your environment has the potential to become an attack vector, therefore it’s important to know what you have in order to keep it protected. In many cases, clients get surprised by our findings and often find numerous additional devices than they expected.
Having an asset inventory is one of the first steps to a successful cybersecurity strategy.
Over a decade ago OT cybersecurity wasn’t a huge problem since OT was kept separate from IT. Over the years, as more and more devices become interconnected and linked to the cloud, OT cybersecurity is becoming a large risk that deserves more attention. For further reading, check out our article, The Need for OT Cybersecurity.
Digital transformation of OT environments has led to a rapid growth in the number of devices such as ICS, SCADA, and DCS communicating with the cloud. There’s also a huge increase in more general IP-connected devices such as CCTV cameras, thermostats, badge readers, multi-function printers, and IP phones that have the potential to be connected to the internet, thus providing another vector that needs to be secured.
All too often we see customers deploying technology to protect assets before they really know what they have or how they use the network. Without a firm understanding of these matters, the technology is often deployed and not configured optimally.
When it comes to OT cybersecurity, what we cannot measure, we cannot control. And what we cannot see, we cannot secure. That’s why OT Asset & Network Discovery is the first step in the cybersecurity journey.
The OT Asset & Network Inventory Comes in Handy with the Following:
Red Trident employs a multi phased approach when it comes to asset and network discovery. This allows us to be efficient and effective, saving the client time and money.al information (remotely)
Our deliverables will be developed in Microsoft Visio and provided in .vsd and pdf format. This information is vital to have in order to work towards a more secure environment.
We work with you and do our best to be your cybersecurity partner. We listen to your concerns and make sure that we’re aligned with your business priorities. We don’t just come in, sell a service, write a report and walk away. We’re here for you. We explain our findings, answer any questions you might have and work with you to help where needed.
Unlike most OT cybersecurity companies, who only offer consulting and assessment services, we want to continue the journey with you and help fix any issues found during our assessments. That could include: providing guidance on how best to effectively solve the issue or we could work along side your team to augment their OT cybersecurity expertise.
No matter what you need, we want to be your partner to support you in your cybersecurity journey and get you where you want to be.
Our team consists of leaders in the ICS field with decades of combined experience in the public sector, private sector, and military. We’ve presented at major security conferences such as DEF CON, BlackHat, various ISAC’s, SANS ICS Summits, etc. We also understand how to communicate in a way that is easy to understand so you don’t end up feeling overwhelmed or confused.
Yes, Red Trident at its core is all about helping customers efficiently reduce cybersecurity risk. Since our beginning, we have been helping customers implement cybersecurity controls in OT. Our expertise and knowledge in this area is second to none. This is why we have multiple global contracts supporting major organizations for remediation services.
The next steps are often defined by what we find in the discovery. You may need to make some modifications to the network, add basic cybersecurity controls, or perhaps start maturing your cybersecurity program to document the awesome system you have.
No matter your next steps, we can help. We don’t just hand you over a report and wish you good luck. We’re there for you.
