Schneider Electric and BitSight announced a strategic partnership to develop an OT risk-identification and threat-intelligence capability. The partners note how this move furthers their commitment to improve the security and resilience of their communities by detecting OT protocols exposed over the internet and contextualizing them with improved attribution.
Through a joint effort, Schneider Electric will fuse its knowledge of OT protocols and systems with BitSight’s exposure-detection and management capabilities in order to generate the critical insights necessary for proactive security monitoring of externally observable risks to the OT community. The goal of this collaboration is to strengthen industrial security and provide more visibility into Industrial infrastructure and industrial control system (ICS) devices that may be at risk from a cyber-breach, they note.
