Legacy or end of life (EOL) systems can come with tradeoffs in obsolescence and risk. Older operating systems may still work fine, but the application of AV, change detection, and system monitoring on these legacy systems presents a challenge. You no longer have to leave productive legacy IT or OT systems digitally unmonitored, unsupervised, underprotected […]
Operational technology (OT) outages can disrupt our everyday physical lives, impacting equipment at large-scale power plants, traffic lights, patient care equipment, and manufacturers and distributors meeting demand. The more critical the OT’s function, the more devastating the impact of an attack or outage. OT cyberthreats don’t go away just because your industrial control system (ICS), […]
Cloud- and network-based firewalls comprise the majority of firewall deployments today, but they aren’t the solution for every organization, every use case, every threat. Atomic OSSEC endpoint firewall protection offers advantages remote firewall coverage cannot. What Are the Different Types of Firewalls? Fundamental differences exist between remote cloud and network firewalls and endpoint firewalls. Endpoint […]
