Asset inventory and network visualization
With Guardian, you can improve system and process awareness with a visualization interface that shows all assets and links. Guardian offers automated discovery of network assets, helping staff save time and gain up-to-date visibility. Using passive, non-intrusive deployment, Guardian connects to network devices via SPAN or mirror ports. In addition, the solution triggers automated alerts when it detects anomalies and changes and offers views that make it easy to drill down on asset information.
Featuring built-in and customizable dashboards, detailed reports, and ad-hoc querying capabilities, Guardian provides intuitive, real-time visibility that improves both cyber security and operational efficiency.
Anomaly and threat detection
Guardian provides the advanced features that enable your team to rapidly detect cyber security threats, risks, and process anomalies, and switches from learning to protection mode automatically, helping speed anomaly detection. Once in protection mode, you’ll be alerted to any changes in your environment.
The solution employs multi-faceted capabilities to identify threats through built-in behavior-based anomaly detection and contextual threat information from the OT ThreatFeed service. OT ThreatFeed is an additional subscription service that includes rules, signatures, and other indicators to help you detect new and emerging threats. With this ICS security solution, your team can detect:
- Malware, ransomware, and other malicious software
- Zero-day attacks
- Complex threats and attacks
- Man-in-the-middle attacks
- Brute-force and DDoS attacks
- Unauthorized behavior
