Industrial Systems
Securing industrial control systems – those computer systems which monitor and control key infrastructure such as power grids, chemical plants and transit systems – is increasingly difficult as cyber attackers take aim at these critical systems.
As traditional anti-virus technology has been known to have been disruptive in test control environments, operations personnel rely on control system application vendors to keep them running safely. They are therefore reluctant to deploy anti-virus software for fear of disruption and lack of future vendor support.
Savant Protection is ideal for protecting industrial systems against targeted malware and provides advanced endpoint protection. Unlike anti-virus which detects “bad” files that match signatures of known malware, Savant Protection’s Application Whitelisting takes a pro-active approach of least privilege, denying everything that is not specifically approved.
“The Savant package creates per-machine whitelist hashes using a patented algorithm that means hashes cannot be forged or re-used across machines because they are different on every machine. Savant is the only vendor evaluated to bundle tamper prevention into their product. Tamper-prevention can prevent a large class of in-memory malware from establishing a permanent foothold on a compromised system. The Savant client package was painless to install and use.” Industrial Defender® White Paper: An Analysis of Whitelisting Security Solutions and Their Applicability in Control Systems
