Indegy Partners with ForeScout to Eliminate OT Network BlindspotsIndegy, a leader in industrial cyber security, today announced a technology integration partnership with ForeScout Technologies (NASDAQ: FSCT) where Indegy will extend ForeScout's network-connected device visibility into operational technology (OT) networks. The joint solution makes Indegy's leading visibility, control and security for industrial control system (ICS) assets available in the ForeScout platform for comprehensive intelligence across an organization. "According to the recent joint DHS/FBI CERT Technical Alert, adversaries have compromised facilities across the US to conduct reconnaissance and develop 'red button' capability for future attacks," said Barak Perelman, CEO of Indegy. "It is imperative that targeted sectors including energy, nuclear, water, and manufacturing significantly increase ICS security. Our partnership with ForeScout closes the OT security gap by providing tightly integrated, centrally managed visibility and control over IT and OT assets in critical infrastructures." OT environments lack visibility and security controls. For example, most OT devices do not require authentication, making it difficult to prevent unauthorized access or changes to critical devices whether they are performed via the network or a physical connection. Event logs and historical data may not be available for threat detection and response. Meanwhile, traditional IT security solutions do not cover OT assets for vulnerability and configuration since they are blind to the unique patterns and protocols of ICS traffic. In addition, network-only OT security solutions lack visibility into local maintenance modifications, contxt of endpoint state during attacks, and current patch levels.
