Operational Technology (OT)

At Wavelink, we specialise in securing Operational Technology (OT) environments, where traditional IT security measures often prove insufficient. By partnering with industry leaders like Fortinet, Claroty, Garland Technology, and Swimlane, we provide comprehensive OT security solutions designed to meet the unique challenges of industrial networks.

Network TAPS

Network Test Access Points (TAPs) are essential for non-intrusive network monitoring. These purpose-built hardware devices duplicate network traffic packets without compromising network integrity, ensuring uninterrupted flow between ports. This continuous, 24/7 operation creates exact copies of traffic in both directions, which are crucial for monitoring and in-depth security analysis. In today’s complex network environments, where high-speed data transmission and evolving cybersecurity threats prevail, detailed visibility into packet data on the network wire is indispensable for deploying effective analysis and security tools.

ICS Security (Industrial Control System Security)

ICS security is essential for protecting industrial control systems, vital for managing critical infrastructure like water, power, transportation, and manufacturing. These systems rely on interconnected software, computers, and networks, necessitating robust security. ICS security ensures safe and continuous operation, preventing cyber threats to machinery and ensuring safety for operators and the public. It involves proactive measures to prevent incidents and rapid response protocols to mitigate risks swiftly. Effective ICS security also enables efficient management and oversight through centralized command centers with real-time data reporting.

Solution Vendors

Strengthening OT Network Defences

Fortinet addresses the increasing connectivity of industrial environments to IT networks, securing critical OT assets from cyber threats. Integration barriers between IT and OT hinder effective threat mitigation, risking disruptions to essential infrastructure. Fortinet’s OT Security Platform, part of the Security Fabric, safeguards IT/OT ecosystems across diverse environments. It includes industrial-grade firewalls, switches, and access points with OT-specific features like dual power supplies. The platform integrates secure networking, zero trust, and AI-driven threat intelligence, supporting IT/OT convergence and consolidating critical security measures.

Revolutionising CPS Protection

Claroty has revolutionised cyber-physical systems (CPS) protection with an industry-centric platform designed to secure mission-critical infrastructure. Offering the deepest asset visibility and the most comprehensive CPS solution set on the market, including exposure management, network protection, secure access, and threat detection, Claroty ensures effective risk reduction. Whether deployed in the cloud with Claroty xDome or on-premise with Claroty CTD, the platform’s award-winning threat research and extensive technology alliances enable organisations to reduce CPS risk, achieve faster time-to-value, and lower total cost of ownership, redefined.

Enhancing OT Network Visibility

Garland Technology offers network visibility solutions that empower organisations to gain deeper insights into their OT network traffic. By integrating Garland’s solutions into our offerings, we enable proactive threat detection and incident response, strengthening overall OT network security.

Orchestrating OT Security Operations

Security operations in OT environments can be complex and challenging to manage. Swimlane’s security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) platform streamlines OT security operations, allowing organizations to automate repetitive tasks and respond to incidents more efficiently.
