Threat actors are deploying more mature breach tactics to avoid detection, wreaking havoc among supply chains and the global digital ecosystem, including operational technology (OT) providers and their large network of connected vendors. Just look at Colonial Pipeline’s disruptive ransomware attack that halted industrial processes to the point of national emergency, or the NotPetya malware attack that shut down shipping container giant Maersk’s network connections and suspended supply chain functionality for businesses around the globe.
That’s why BitSight partnered with Schneider Electric, a global leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, to bring a data-driven exposure detection tool to organizations around the globe.
First-of-its-kind technology to empower customers
With the partnership, BitSight and Schneider Electric are enabling security and risk teams to more successfully identify OT exposure risk throughout their extended networks without the need for additional resources. Users of Schneider Electric Industrial Control System (ICS) devices and other connected industrial technology will now have access to industry-leading cybersecurity data and analytics to manage OT risk targeting their systems.
With the new capability enabled through the BitSight and Schneider partnership, users can maintain a continuous view of internet-connected OT devices, without active management by cybersecurity personnel. When misconfigurations are identified, teams will then be notified of the needed remediation, and be able to proactively initiate response plans before costly vulnerabilities can be acted on.
“With the enriched data and insight collected by BitSight, Schneider Electric is developing an OT threat intelligence capability to notify and work with customers who have exposed assets or insecure Internet facing dep ..
