真实性的尘埃rial Networks, a leading developer of next-generation Operational Technology (OT) network cybersecurity for the industrial internet, announced that it is part of a three-company team tapped by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to develop a secure networking solution that reduces cyberattacks against U.S. industrial and utility networks.
The team, which includes engineers from Veracity, Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. (SEL) and Sempra Renewables, will focus on developing technology to reduce cyberattacks aimed at energy delivery systems.
The companies will use new Ethernet communications technology designed to keep systems operational when under cyberattack.
该项目包括自动识别不需要的网络行为和外部入侵，受影响的网络区域的遏制以及关键信息的重新路线。最终目标是使能源关键的交付和控制系统保持安全和运行，尤其是在发生网络攻击的情况下。
"We look forward to collaborating with our colleagues at SEL and Sempra in developing state-of-the-art network protections to industries and utilities such as the U.S. power grid," said Paul Myer, Veracity's CEO. "Our team is proud to be working for the DOE in the national interest toward preventing hackers from causing catastrophic disruptions to U.S. industrial and utility infrastructures."
Technical Highlights
The team will deliver the following:
· A security state policy enforcer application that runs on the northbound interface of a flow controller.
· DIN rail mount software-defined networking (SDN) Ethernet switch.
·使用OpenFlow®规范到开源SDN规范的工业控制系统扩展。
· The ability to apply an action to encrypt/decrypt packets on a per-flow basis and automate key management.
The team will build on the already successful completion of the DOE's Watchdog and SDN projects, which were sponsored by the DOE's Cybersecurity for Energy Delivery Systems (CEDS) program.
About Veracity Industrial Networks
真实性的尘埃rial Networks, based in Aliso Viejo, Calif. and Atlanta, is revolutionizing OT networks with a new- generation platform that provides enterprise-class security through a centralized command center for industrial control systems.
Leveraging SDN technologies, Veracity gives industrial operators complete situational awareness for asset identification and management, client-defined security zones, and threat-based incident response in near real-time. Veracity's approach and technology provide improved reliability, efficiency and security of OT networks without adding additional layers of complexity to the network.
