TXOne Networks solutions secure OT in the production line
Carl-Johan Dahlgren , TXOne ’ s Business Development Director for Northern Europe , shares the company ’ s solutions for secure operational technologies
TXOne Networks stands as a specialised OT cybersecurity vendor , singularly focused on fortifying missioncritical operational technologies and infrastructures of paramount significance . It caters to manufacturing , oil , gas , and electricity sectors , offering cybersecurity protocols that preserve production continuity and digital manufacturing system integrity . Carl-Johan Dahlgren , TXOne ’ s Business Development Director for Northern Europe , delineates the company ’ s adaptable solutions .
Dahlgren elucidates the distinction between IT and OT , where IT deals with information handling and OT concerns operational technology involving physical devices . TXOne equips clients with tools for vulnerability scanning and analysis as a proactive cybersecurity strategy .
The product range scans assets for malicious code , especially pertinent when integrating new machinery .
It could be that you want to scan a new machine before you bring it into the production environment ,” says Dahlgren . TXOne ’ s Edge Series , a suite of products , empowers clients to secure various production levels , including legacy systems . Notably , the Edge IPS stands out – a level two device protecting machines where you are unable to install CyberPhysicalSystem – Detection & Response ( CPSDR ) software .
“ The Edge IPS is a layer two device , a physical device that you put in your network to protect machines or computers on which are unable to install any kind of software . This could be very old machines , legacy operating systems , etc ,” says Dahlgren .
“ You don ’ t need to re-architecture the environment since it ’ s one layer and just a bump on the wire . You can just plug into a physical cable and it begins producing the Edge Series .”
Dahlgren also introduces a level three device functioning as an IT environment firewall , though its integration requires considering the network architecture . This approach ensures comprehensive protection for diverse customer needs .
Practical understanding is exemplified through a partnership with strategic advisor Sopra Steria . This collaboration facilitates up-to-date insight into TXOne ’ s evolving portfolio , enabling adept advice to customers regarding environment protection and future architecture .
