Market Update
Last year’s high-profile attacks on critical infrastructure challenged operators looking to stay one step ahead of adversaries. Vulnerabilities impacting IT systems, such as Log4j, have crossed over into the increasingly connected industrial control systems on which we all depend. The cost of cyber defense continues to rise, with regulators like the FCC set to levyadditional fines on companies that haven’t addressed these vulnerabilities. Such pressures may sound daunting for managers of operational technology (OT) assets, with legacy equipment unable to receive patches due to potential functional changes or warranty concerns.
Fend provides a straightforward, affordable way to sidestep the cybersecurity arms race and keep attackers out for good. Using Fend’s one-way communication diodes, customers can physically block attempts to exploit known vulnerabilities. Attackers can’t reach the systems behind Fend’s hardware, giving operators the security and flexibility they need to keep key industrial assets online.
