Xertified Feature Notification

Ethernet-based networks and protocols in Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are increasingly connecting with enterprise IT systems, leading to the integration of Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT). This integration opens up new avenues for cyber attackers, enabling them to breach the IT network and then transition into the industrial systems through linked systems. Xertified addresses these problem with a XoT-Bridge that enables direct access to internal OT systems from IT environments, bypassing the need to reconfigure any firewalls guarding those segments. It ensures that all sessions are outbound-only, with user and device connections managed without decrypting the data, thus maintaining your data’s integrity. This approach sets it apart from many market solutions that require decryption of data by a Cloud Service for routing decisions. Secure Bridge can be fully implemented on-site, within a private cloud, or through a public cloud service.
