Protecting Industrial Operational Technologies with Tenable.ot Solutions

Майстер-клас: секрети випікання найсмачніших млинців!

26.06.2024

Protecting critical technological infrastructure is increasingly vital today, especially considering the increasing number of cyberattacks. In the first five months of 2023 alone, Ukraine's State Special Communications Service recorded over 85 million cyberattacks targeting the public sector and public websites. These attacks are not confined to military targets but extend to critical infrastructure. The energy sector, in particular, remains under constant threat from cyberattacks, which can cause significant disruptions to government operations and civilian life.

The Importance of OT Security

Digital transformation introduces new cyber risks while enhancing energy production efficiency and resource conservation. In 2022, 10.7% of global cyberattacks targeted energy-related organisations, making this sector the fourth most attacked. The interconnected systems within such enterprises create a risk of cascading incidents during cyberattacks, potentially leading to major disruptions in energy systems. A significant source of danger is the combination of outdated systems with new architectures, creating a network of vulnerabilities. The complexity and interdependence of energy systems further complicate identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities. For instance, an attacker's access to substation controllers can have regional or national consequences, underscoring the importance of OT asset protection.

What is Tenable.ot?

Tenable.ot is a comprehensive solution for safeguarding an enterprise's technological infrastructure. It specialises in industrial controllers (PLCs, RTUs), their network components (switches, routers), and other IT devices used to manage production processes across various sectors. 
Tenable.ot focuses on four main areas:1. Asset detection and status monitoring2. Vulnerability management3. Configuration management4. Threat detection

How Tenable.ot Works

Tenable.ot secures industrial networks against cyber threats, malicious insiders, and operator errors. Its Industrial Control Systems (ICS) protection capabilities include a comprehensive view of the attack surface for threat detection and asset tracking, vulnerability management, and configuration control, maximising the security and reliability of OT environments. The solution provides deep situational awareness of all IT and OT objects and their environments.
Industries Where Tenable.ot Can Be Applied:● Wastewater treatment● Oil and gas● Chemical and petrochemical industries● Pharmaceuticals● Nuclear power plants● Water supply● Discrete manufacturing● Energy and power generation● Building automation● Transportation● Aerospace● Food and beverages

Key Features of Tenable.ot

Integrated View

Tenable.ot offers a comprehensive enterprise view by integrating with other Tenable products and leading IT security tools like SIEM, SOAR, next-generation firewalls, and diode-based firewalls. The platform also exchanges data with CMDBs, asset inventory platforms, change management tools, and other resources. With its RESTful API, Tenable.ot facilitates data transfer even to proprietary organisational tools, ensuring a more streamlined view of IT and OT environments on a single information panel.

Threat Detection System

Tenable.ot detects and warns about threats from both external and internal sources, whether human-induced or malware-driven. Its multiple detection methods allow it to recognise abnormal network behaviour, enforce security policies, and monitor local device changes. Moreover, Tenable.ot can perform threat searches on devices, identifying security issues on inactive devices before an attack develops. This helps organisations detect and mitigate the impact of dangerous events in OT environments. Upon detecting a threat, specialists receive a context-aware alert containing detailed information and a complete incident trail, enabling quick response and investigation.

Asset Tracking

Tenable.ot's automatic asset detection and visualisation capabilities maintain a complete and up-to-date registry of all network assets, including workstations, servers, HMIs, data historians, PLCs, RTUs, IEDs, and network devices. Its active device scanning capabilities detect devices in network blind spots and locally stored data. The registry provides unique details about assets, including firmware and OS version tracking, internal configuration, active applications and users, serial numbers, and IT and OT integration panel configuration.

Vulnerability Management

Tenable.ot's comprehensive and detailed asset tracking capabilities allow it to determine the risk level for each ICS network asset. Such reports include risk assessment, detailed information, and recommendations for problem resolution. Vulnerability management is based on various parameters, such as firmware version, current CVEs, proprietary research, default passwords, open ports, installed patches, etc. This enables personnel to quickly identify new vulnerabilities and effectively mitigate risk factors in the network. Tenable.ot also monitors and records all configuration changes made by users or malware through the network or directly on the device. The platform provides a complete chronology of device configuration changes, including detailed segments of relay logic, diagnostic buffers, tag tables, etc. This allows users to create a backup snapshot of the last known stable state for faster recovery and compliance with industry regulations.

Conclusion

Digitisation, expanding attack surfaces, outdated system vulnerabilities, internal threats, and their evolving nature pose risks to the security and resilience of production operations. Traditional cybersecurity tools cannot handle these challenges due to operational constraints in production environments and the sensitive nature of legacy OT devices.
Tenable's leading OT security solution is designed specifically for manufacturers' challenges. It provides deep asset visibility, risk-based vulnerability management, threat and anomaly detection, and device configuration monitoring.
