Cyber and ransomware attacks have seen a significant increase over the last several months, with prominent attacks on American soil taking place every few months. One attack on the Colonial Pipeline caused fuel shortages across the country’s east coast for more than a month and led to a $4.4 million payout. In response to the increased cyberattacks, the U.S National Security Council called on cyber leaders to protect it against ransomware attacks, highlighting the responsibility that the private sector has to help the federal government strengthen its protection.

“Cybercriminals have become as powerful as nation-state adversaries, posing a real threat to operational continuity,” added Daniel Bren, CEO and co-founder of OTORIO. “Building on OTORIO’s extensive experience protecting industrial and mission-critical environments, our joint solution simplifies cybersecurity for converged IT/OT/IoT environments by adopting a proactive risk-reduction approach instead of traditional intrusion detection and response methods. ”

CYE and OTORIO provide cyber visibility across IT, OT, and IoT environments, helping pipeline operators gain a clear understanding of their network assets and who has access to their environment. As well as this, they can help operators quantify risks, identify exposures, and help them build long-term best practices. The solution is automated and simplifies the compliance process and risk monitoring.
