OTORIO, the leading provider of operational technology (OT) cyber and digital risk management solutions, has announced a significant advancement in OT security with the integration of its Attack Graph Analysis technology into its Cyber Digital Twin (CDT) model. With the capabilities of the CDT, organizations can now gain dynamic visual network topology and advanced risk assessment, allowing them to proactively manage vulnerabilities in their OT infrastructure. This development comes after OTORIO recently secured a patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its risk management model and attack graph analysis algorithm.
Protecting operational environments poses challenges even for organizations with skilled OT security personnel. The complexities of these environments and the shortcomings of existing OT security solutions often result in limited visibility and partial data, making it difficult to accurately assess OT security posture. OTORIO’s Cyber Digital Twin and Attack Graph Analysis address these challenges. The CDT provides an automated, secure, and logical representation of the operational network, its entities, and their interrelationships. It acts as a sandboxed model of the operational environment, enabling safe breach and attack simulations as well as data-driven impact analysis.
Once the relationships between the entities have been established, the CDT algorithm generates an Attack Graph, which visualizes all network assets, vulnerabilities, and connections. This visualization helps identify segmentation gaps and potential attack vectors targeting critical assets and processes. By calculating risk across all assets, threats, and scenarios, organizations can continuously assess, monitor, and proactively protect their critical OT systems. Attack Graph Analysis empowers organizations by providing actionable insights into the most critical vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors. It allows businesses to allocate resources more efficiently and stay ahead of emerging threats by identifying and visualizing high-risk areas within their OT infrastructure.
The power of OTORIO’s Cyber Digital Twin and Attack Graph Analysis technology lies in its three key pillars: automation, explainability, and actionability. By automating security processes, OTORIO reduces human error and enables rapid response. The technology provides an automated, user-friendly report with action items and priorities, eliminating the need for manual analysis. The Attack Graph Analysis ensures transparency and enables users to better understand their security posture from a risk and business impact standpoint. Additionally, the visually intuitive Cyber Digital Twin and Attack Graph Analysis reports provide recommendations tailored to network needs, empowering organizations with effective security strategies for proactive vulnerability management.
Ben Reich, Chief Platform Architect at OTORIO, expressed excitement about the game-changing solutions of the Cyber Digital Twin and patent-protected Attack Graph Analysis for OT security. He stated that these advancements would bring a new level of precision and effectiveness to OT security, empowering organizations to proactively manage risk, ensure operational resilience, and protect critical assets from evolving cyber threats.
