SIGA OT Solutions is an innovative cybersecurity company driving a paradigm shift within the world of OT cybersecurity. The company strives to expand the boundaries of OT operations with deepened security and elevated process integrity, by delivering AI enhanced monitoring and deeper operational perception to operators of critical assets. SIGA capitalizes on electrical signals directly from Level 0 to ensure OT cybersecurity resilience.
Company's Solutions
SigaGuard the most advanced tool for detecting and analyzing cyber-attacks on mission-critical automated equipment, machinery and processes. By monitoring electrical signals directly from Level 0, SigaGuard delivers OT cybersecurity resilience that detects anomalies straight from the physical layer in real-time.
On top of SigaGuard’s forefront abilities, SIGA offers its customers innovative add-ons to improve their OT resilience:
- The Parallel Reference Monitor (PRM) add-on performs a constant comparison between what happens at Level - 0 (the physical layer) and the upper levels (the network layers). This enables early detection of any breach in the PLC (HMI Spoofing) and instantly alerts the operators that a cyber-attack is underway.
- SIGA SOC OT retrieves OT data from multiple-sites and provides advanced monitoring and analysis tools as the basis of a customized and centralized SOC-OT.
Prominent Case Study
Although when we think of cyberattacks the principal concern is the severe disruption to business operations, in the case of water facilities, the most alarming preoccupation actually relates to public health, and the disastrous consequences they bear. In the US alone, there have been some serious cyberattacks that threatened the supply of potable water, management of sewage water and affected water diversion. A disturbing example dates back to the year 2016, where hackers breached a regional US water utility, taking control of hundreds of programmable logic controllers (PLC's) that governed the flow of water treatment chemicals and endangering thousands of lives.
Water facilities attempt to implement robust cybersecurity measures, including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and employee training programs, to mitigate the risk of these and other types of cyber attacks. As governments and organizations plan to increase their expenditure to secure the water infrastructure, we are still left with a vital question to answer – How can we ensure cybersecurity resilience of water infrastructure, bearing in mind that hackers outnumber organizations’ budget and workforce? What can water companies and governments do to ‘out-smart’ the hackers?
By activating Machine Learning on the electrical signals at Level 0, SigaGuard delivers an autonomous cyber inspection & analytics solution, offering bullet-proof detection of any cyber-attack on the physical layer, inaccessible insights, and operational resilience of industrial processes and automated machinery. Level 0 is the ideal way to address the issues faced by the water sector, ensuring visibility like no other solution does, for the sake of detecting attacks as soon as they initiate, to provide operators with unparalleled insights to mitigate the industry’s threats.
