PRESS RELEASE. CAMBRIDGE, England, Jan. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Darktrace, a global leader in cyber security AI, and Garland Technology, a leading manufacturer of network TAP, aggregator, packet broker, data diode and inline bypass solutions, today announced a new collaboration to help businesses protect complex industrial environments.
This collaboration brings Darktrace/OT™ and Garland Technology's network visibility solutions together, offering fast, seamless deployments and more complete network visibility in operational technology environments.
Security risks in industrial environments and critical infrastructure continue to rise.
The increasing monetization of OT attacks, exposure of Industrial Control Systems to open networks, and convergence with IT is heightening opportunities for threat actors.
Together, Garland's Network TAPs and Aggregators and Darktrace/OT are designed to quickly enable visibility and security across OT, IT, and IIoT networks to Purdue level 1.
Using Garland's network TAP solutions with Darktrace minimizes deployment challenges with little to no additional configuration required in complex industrial environments, quickly illuminates points of IT and OT convergence, provides unidirectional traffic flow, and detects potential threats to keep data and environments secure.
As no connection to the Internet is required, Darktrace/OT functions within air-gapped or highly segmented networks without jeopardizing their integrity.
Garland Technology's network TAP solutions create a foundation of visibility for network management, allowing secure access and monitoring of network traffic.
Garland's solutions are uniquely designed for industrial networks.
When deployed, a Garland Technology network TAP will pass all network traffic from the tapped network link to the Darktrace appliance for analysis, without interrupting business operations.
Many of Garland's TAP and Aggregator solutions include built-in data diode technology, which enforces one-way data flow from a network segment to a monitoring destination to reduce the risk of remote attacks, DDoS attacks, malware, and ransomware from external networks.
When used with Darktrace/OT, this makes it easier to deploy, provides increased network visibility and confidence that network traffic is unidirectional and secured.
