EmberOT and Opscura join forces to introduce a unified solution aimed at addressing the critical and evolving challenges in OT (operational technology) and ICS (industrial control systems) environments. The partnership marks a significant advancement in safeguarding vital industrial processes and data against increasingly sophisticated threats.
The initiative highlights a troubling discovery that over 73 percent of industrial settings are experiencing a significant lack of visibility into their OT assets. This substantial gap in visibility leaves critical infrastructure vulnerable to undetected threats and unauthorized access, emphasizing an urgent need for enhanced asset protection and comprehensive visibility across these environments.
Jori VanAntwerp, founder and CEO at EmberOT, notes, “By joining forces with Opscura, we are looking to advance the frontier of industrial cybersecurity. By merging our observability and detection expertise with Opscura’s robust network protection technologies, we are fostering a safer, more secure future for critical infrastructure organizations.”
Combining Opscura’s segmentation, encryption, and cloaking technologies with EmberOT’s asset discovery and continuous observability, the collaboration between the two companies offers an integrated approach to industrial cybersecurity. The deal ensures that every device within OT environments is accounted for and protected through features that enhance and augment each solution.
▶ Segmentation and Asset Visibility: Opscura enables fine-tuned network segmentation and network data streams without disruption. EmberOT’s software-based solution delivers up to 100 percent visibility in OT environments, leveraging sensor technology to protect assets at scale.
▶ Continuous Observability and Risk Indexing: Real-time threat detection and defense capabilities offer actionable insights for quantifying risk and prioritizing vulnerabilities.
▶ Customizable Threat and OT Detection: Standout features that allow users to author and/or upload customized operational and threat detection rules, providing an unmatched level of security customization.
The collaboration between Opscura and EmberOT not only bridges the visibility gap in OT environments but also enhances operational resilience by safeguarding systems and reducing the attack surface. The joint solution’s streamlined deployment, leveraging an organization’s existing infrastructure, minimizes disruption and costs and maximizes efficiency.
The combined offering also equips security teams with curated, actionable data for informed decision-making, enhancing both the security posture and operational effectiveness of critical infrastructure organizations.
“Through this partnership with EmberOT, we have created a cost-efficient, simple, drop-in solution that delivers immediate protection for industrial operations,” states Opscura CEO Brian Brammeier. “This provides far more than data and asset visibility; it ensures resilience and operational continuity in an increasingly complex threat landscape.”
By combining Opscura’s network protection innovations with EmberOT’s observability and detection capabilities, the partnership signals a significant step forward in securing critical industrial operations. EmberOT and Opscura are committed to redefining industrial cybersecurity by addressing the challenges of today and paving the way for a safer tomorrow.
Launched in March, EmberOT offers improved scalability, flexibility, and insight into OT networks and ICS, aiding in protecting infrastructure operations across critical sectors.
