Palo Alto Networks Blogs – Qiang Huang
Palo Alto Networks has introduced Industrial OT Security, a new service for securing IoT and OT devices as part of their comprehensive Zero Trust OT Security solution.
This product is designed to address challenges in securing OT assets, especially as cyber threats in industries such as manufacturing, which saw a considerable increase in ransomware attacks in 2022, evolve and become more sophisticated.
The Industrial OT Security service aims to provide clear visibility into OT assets and their risks, keep up with advanced threats, and meet the stringent operational requirements of OT environments.
It leverages the Zero Trust security model, which operates on a “never trust, always verify” principle, and is particularly well-suited for the predictable network traffic of OT processes.
Palo Alto Networks’ solution includes comprehensive visibility of OT assets, contextual segmentation to protect vulnerable networks, continuous verification of trust, and ongoing security inspection.
It is designed to adhere to OT industry standards like IEC 62443 and enables simplified implementation and compliance reporting.
The offering sets itself apart by providing a range of features that include machine learning for enhanced visibility across OT assets, contextual segmentation for perimeter security, dynamic access policies, continuous trust verification, and thorough security inspection that leverages advanced ML and threat signatures.
With this cloud-delivered service, Palo Alto Networks claims that Industrial OT Security not only secures OT assets and ensures uninterrupted operations but also delivers a high ROI and simplicity in deployment compared to other OT security solutions.
The service is available through Palo Alto Networks NGFWs and Prisma Access.
