With the computer systems and networks of electric, natural gas, water and oil distribution systems now connected to the Internet, the energy sector’s critical infrastructure is more vulnerable to attack.
Due to limited IT budgets, it is common for energy sector organizations to have a small IT team tasked with all aspects of IT management and security. As a result, lean IT teams are challenged to proactively protect their critical IT assets from cyber attacks and comply with regulations.
Quarantine
Quarantine isolates devices to stop the spread of infections. While the contaminated device cannot communicate to other network devices or the internet, Syxsense Secure maintains direct communication to respond in real time. Initiate tasks to remove software, investigate threat activity, or use remote control.
Syxsense software provides IT management, comprehensive ransomware protection and real-time threat alerting. With Syxsense, your organization can protect sensitive information, demonstrate NERC compliance, and reassure customers, partners, and regulators that your environment is secure.
Incident Tracking
Summary, trend and detail information appears in the console for every incident. Easily identify individual devices with repeated incidents, specific monitors that are triggered frequently, timeframes of heavy activity and geographic location of events.
Patch Management
Unpatched and outdated software remains a top attack vector for cyber criminals. Keep desktops, laptops, servers and remote users up-to-date with the latest software updates and security patches before you even know there is a problem.
Total Visibility
Embrace a comprehensive solution without a steep learning curve. No more blind spots with live, accurate IT data delivered from the cloud. Whether online or offline, inside or outside your network, manage and secure your complete environment.
Regulatory bodies have recognized the many security issues to critical infrastructure and have begun to establish and enforce requirements in an attempt to shore up potential exposures. One such regulation is NERC CIP, which includes eight reliability standards consisting of 160 requirements for electric and power companies to address. And as of July 1, 2010, these companies must be “auditably compliant” or else they risk getting slapped with a $1 million per day, per CIP violation
Syxsense Secure and Syxsense Manage help enterprises comply with NERC CIP requirements. Below are just a few features mapped to help meet NERC CIP regulations.
Without a combined and comprehensive IT Management and Security solution, guarding against these threats would require monitoring thousands of log events per day while proactively detecting vulnerabilities, which can quickly become an overwhelming task even for a well-funded and staffed IT organization. Syxsense provides world’s first IT and security solution to offer patch management, vulnerability scans, and Endpoint Security in a single console.
