AZT Protect for OT Networks

As operational technology (OT) networks become more interconnected with IT systems, they face an increased risk of cyberattacks. Conventional antivirus and endpoint detection response (EDR) solutions are insufficient for the unique challenges of OT environments.

ARIA Zero Trust PROTECT (AZT PROTECT™) offers a revolutionary AI-driven defense mechanism for OT endpoints, protecting against both known and unknown cybersecurity threats. This solution is designed to secure your OT device infrastructure and critical IT applications, automatically blocking exploits at both the application and OS levels without the need for continuous patching.

Advantages of AZT PROTECT

• Comprehensive Protection: It guards against all cybersecurity threats, including zero-day attacks, by understanding and allowing only known good applications and processes.
• Operational Efficiency: AZT PROTECT is autonomous, requires no cloud updates to block new attacks, and is lightweight enough to be deployed on legacy OT equipment.
• Future-Proof Security: By making application vulnerabilities and patching nearly irrelevant, AZT PROTECT offers a forward-looking approach to cybersecurity, keeping OT networks safe from the most advanced threats without the need for specialized cybersecurity staff.

This shift towards a more efficient, AI-driven security approach allows organizations to stay ahead of cyber threats, safeguarding their operational integrity and ensuring continuity.

AZT PROTECT solution architecture

1. The AZT Trust Agent protects the OT network perimeter on all endpoint devices, spanning desktop, laptops, and embedded devices. It takes up minimal space on a device, consuming less than 2 percent of CPU even on legacy systems deployed decades ago. It does not require internet connectivity, making it suitable for fully air-gapped environments.
2. The AZT Trust Center provides a unified view of all endpoints and site locations for control and monitoring. This includes policy and device management, application management, and alert monitoring.
