Wurldtech Security Technologies announced the release of its Achilles Industrial Next Gen Firewall (NGFW) for operational technology (OT) environments. This purpose-built OT security solution monitors network traffic and blocks unexpected and malicious activity to help ensure maximum uptime and secure productivity for industrial operations.
The Achilles Industrial NGFW inspects, secures and tracks industrial protocol traffic by combining the protection of a stateful firewall with intrusion prevention and application visibility and control. It offers an extremely easy-to-use graphical interface with drag-and-drop virtual zoning to simplify the management of security policy, the configuration of protection profiles, and the segmentation of the OT network. The solution also offers comprehensive industrial protocol analysis to provide industrial security visibility.
Achilles Industrial NGFW is a key addition to Wurldtech's comprehensive portfolio of products and services that assess, protect, and certify critical infrastructure. This approach guides Wurldtech customers through three key steps for managing their cyber security lifecycle:
Assess – Through Achilles Test products and professional services, these solutions discover anomalies, then identify and assess the root cause of the associated vulnerability.
Protect – Through Achilles Industrial NGFW and Achilles Threat Intelligence Software, these solutions deliver industry-leading protection that quickly and seamlessly protects networks of unpatched devices against specific industrial vulnerabilities.
Certify – Through Achilles Communications and Practices Certifications and Professional Services, these certifications help ensure that best practices are being followed for device security and development.
Sid Snitkin, ARC Advisory Group, commented, "Infrequent patch windows and out-of support systems are an ongoing challenge for industrial organizations. Next generation firewalls with virtual network segmentation and deep-packet inspection of industrial protocols offer a powerful means to deploy the required compensatory controls. Ease of configuration and maintenance are essential to ensure that controls can be quickly developed and safely applied."
