TXOne Networks has introduced its Stellar solution, which aims to defend operational stability by prioritizing security and operations without compromising capability or performance. Stellar has already been successful in protecting customers in various industries such as semiconductors, manufacturing, oil and gas, automotive, and pharmaceuticals. It offers seamless detection and prevention capabilities for both legacy and new operational technology (OT) devices while providing complete oversight.
One of the key features of Stellar is its ability to establish and continuously monitor the behavioral patterns of OT devices and cyber-physical systems on plant floors. This automated process allows for the detection of any abnormal interactions that may pose a threat to reliable and stable operations. Unlike traditional cybersecurity approaches borrowed from information technology (IT), which often fail to recognize or address such abnormalities, Stellar analyzes the baseline “fingerprints” of each individual device. By doing so, it can identify unexpected changes and prevent them from impacting operations. The solution also generates alerts for wider analysis, ensuring proactive threat mitigation.
To facilitate easy implementation, Stellar consists of an agent that works with an organization’s OT devices and a centralized management console that simplifies management and policy control. In addition, TXOne Networks maintains a comprehensive OT-context-focused database in partnership with leading device original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). This database enables accurate identification and preservation of over 8,000 OT/industrial control system (ICS) applications, certificates, and devices.
Stellar offers complete protection for operational environments and the OT devices within them. It provides multi-method threat prevention to secure OT/ICS devices against malware and abuse threats, as well as operations behavior anomaly detection to identify and prevent malware-free attacks. The solution also includes operation lockdown, which safeguards operational integrity, reduces the chance of downtime, and minimizes the need for outages, making it particularly valuable for “non-patchable” systems. Furthermore, Stellar offers trusted control of USB devices to protect against unauthorized access.
Terence Liu, CEO of TXOne Networks, emphasized the growing recognition of OT operations as pivotal hubs for generating business value. He expressed how numerous industry leaders across diverse sectors have already chosen to entrust their critical assets to the Stellar Endpoint security solution. With the addition of the Cyber-Physical System Detection and Response (CPSDR) feature in Stellar 3.0, enterprises can effectively uphold operational stability and proactively mitigate unforeseen threats.
The introduction of Stellar reflects the increasing importance of protecting operational environments and OT devices from cybersecurity threats. By utilizing the unique capabilities of CPSDR, Stellar empowers organizations to maintain robust security measures while ensuring uninterrupted operations. It provides a comprehensive solution that addresses both known and unknown threats, ultimately safeguarding critical assets and supporting the long-term success of businesses across various sectors.
